"'Break My Heart'" is a song by English singer Dua Lipa from her second studio album, 'Future Nostalgia' (2020). The song was written by Lipa, Ali Tamposi, Stefan Johnson, Jordan K. Johnson, and Andrew Watt, while the production was handled by Watt alongside the Monsters & Strangerz. Due to a similarity to the guitar riff in INXS's 1987 song "Need You Tonight", band members Andrew Farriss and Michael Hutchence are also credited as writers, and the similarity is credited as an interpolation. The song was released for digital download and streaming through Warner Records as the third single from 'Future Nostalgia' on 25 March 2020. It is a retro-futuristic dance-pop and disco-funk song with elements of house and 1980s music that is set to a Europop beat. A vulnerable song, it sees Lipa questioning whether a new love will leave her broken-hearted.
Several music critics commended the production elements of "Break My Heart" as well as its "Need You Tonight" interpolation; some thought it sounded too similar to its influences. The song placed on numerous best of 2020 year-end lists, including ones published by 'Billboard', 'The New York Times' and NPR, while also receiving numerous awards as well as nominations including Song of the Summer at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards and Song of the Year at the 46th People's Choice Awards. Commercially, the song reached the top ten of charts in twenty-one countries, including a number one peak in Israel. This also included the UK Singles Chart, where the song peaked at number six. The song is certified platinum or higher in ten countries, including a double diamond in Brazil, a double platinum in Australia and a platinum in the UK.
The music video for "Break My Heart" premiered on 26 March 2020. It was directed by Henry Scholfield and filmed in Bulgaria. The video features 1990s-influenced slide clips that see Lipa in numerous situations going from vulnerable to empowered after she falls for someone who's pulling away from her. Some of these situations include running through a traffic-jammed block, dancing in a club and dancing on the end of a broken plane. Several critics praised the high quality of the video and its use of colour. It won Best Pop Video at the 2020 UK Music Video Awards. Lipa performed the song on numerous occasions, including on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon', 'Big Brother Brasil 20' and 'Graduate Together'. Several remixes including ones by Jax Jones, Joris Voorn and Moon Boots were also released.
Writing and production
were credited on "Break My Heart" after the song's writers noticed a similarity between it and the band's "Need You Tonight".
"Break My Heart" was written by Dua Lipa, Ali Tamposi, Andrew Watt, Stefan Johnson and Jordan K. Johnson and was produced by the Monsters & Strangerz alongside Watt. The Monsters & Strangerz had wanted to work with Lipa for a while and had their management contact Lipa's A&R, Joe Kentish, and manager Ben Mawson. Their management knew the latter from a previous Ellie Goulding collaboration. A studio session was arranged between The Monsters & Strangerz, Tamposi, and Lipa, which was successful, however, the Monsters & Strangerz thought that they would have a better session with Watt. A session was arranged with him at his studio. Lipa was nervous going into the session due to the fact that she had not worked with Watt. Lipa found it hard to be open and vulnerable with people she does not know. However, Lipa later realised it is easy to do so. She additionally found it helpful that the co-writers knew her boyfriend, which allowed Lipa to be more open. Lipa intended to create a song that was cohesive and had a theme running through it.
The session started with all the writers staring at a "disco" sign in Watt's studio. Whenever he worked with a new artist, Watt always recorded a simple guitar riff on his phone as place to start with them. He broke the ice with Lipa by playing her the sample. She expressed her admiration for it, but thought it was not for her. To give him an idea of her musical style, Lipa played Watt about half of her 'Future Nostalgia' album which he described as "perfect". The collaborators were unsure where to begin with the song, ultimately deciding to start with the melody. They started with the guitar before Lipa began putting her thoughts into song form. Watt played a bass lick, inspired by what he equated to be "funky music". Lipa loved the sound and told him to record it; they later decided to synchronize the hook with the bass line. All writers had many ideas for the melody and helped write it. Lipa recalled needing the melody to make sense of writing the lyrics. She was inspired by the initial stages of falling in love but thinking in the back of one's mind, "this is too good to be true". Lipa recalled being out of her comfort zone while writing the song, but learning a lesson to write in that state as she writes the best songs then.
"Break My Heart" was written, tracked and produced in one night. Watt recalled that the collaborators were "on fire" and "nailed it" while also mentioning that Lipa "such a confident place" and she "brought it on another level". While listening back to the song, Lipa and her collaborators noticed a similarity between the song and "Need You Tonight" (1987) by Australian rock band INXS. The collaborators did not want to get sued, so band members Andrew Farriss and Michael Hutchence were credited as writers and INXS were given a publishing credit. Lipa admired this situation as it "brought nostalgia even more to the forefront" of the album. Farriss later expressed his appreciation for Lipa for asking for permission to use the interpolation while saying it is "kind of bizarre" to hear Lipa interpret it in that way. "Break My Heart" was recorded and tracked at Gold Tooth Music in Beverly Hills, California and Oddities Studio in London; the vocals were also recorded at the latter location. Mark "Spike" Stent mixed the song at the Mixsuite in Los Angeles with Dave Kutch mastering it at the Mastering Palace in New York.
Music and lyrics
Musically, "Break My Heart" is a dance-pop and disco-funk song with house and 1980s elements. It has a length of 3:41 and is constructed in versechorus form. The song is composed in time and the key of E minor, with a tempo of 113 beats per minute. The verses and choruses have a chord progression of EmGFdimEmCBmD, while the bridges follow a Cmaj7D6Bm7Em7D6 sequence and the middle eight follows a CDG/BBmEmBm/DCDEm7B7B chord progression. The song interpolates the rhythm guitar melody from "Need You Tonight" by INXS. "Break My Heart" has a retro-futuristic sound, with the production consisting of a bouncing-ball bass, handclaps, a funk guitar line, disco violins, and a Europop beat.
"Break My Heart" opens with a bassline and synths, both of which were categorized as bouncy, and a hi-hat drum. In the pre-chorus, the song features a funky bassline and sweeping strings, while the music drops out in the middle and abruptly crashes back shortly after for the chorus. As the song eases into its chorus, the instruments are stripped back with a swaggering guitar riff underscoring each lyric, while a techno-adjacent bassline is also included, alongside a staccato bass rhythm. The second verse includes a drum kit and the second pre-chorus is driven by a string section. Lipa's vocals span a range of E3 to B4, and she makes use of spoken word deliveries. Described by Lipa as a "celebration of vulnerability", "Break My Heart" sees her question whether a new love will leave her broken hearted. She tells a cautionary love tale and mentions the "shoulda, woulda, coulda's" of relationship choices. The lyrics of the chorus were compared to the COVID-19 pandemic's social distancing measures.
Release and promotion

Later that month, the song was confirmed to be on the album's tracklist in the ninth position.

Lipa was scheduled to release a remix of the song featuring fans playing the instruments, however it went unreleased.A remix by Moodymann and a mashup with the Dimitri from Paris dubwize remix of Jamiroquai's "Cosmic Girl", titled "Break My Heart / Cosmic Girl" (Dimitri from Paris Edit) appear on Lipa and the Blessed Madonna's DJ Mix-crafted remix album 'Club Future Nostalgia', released 28 August 2020, while the original Moodymann remix was released on 11 September 2020. The funkier mashup was created by the Blessed Madonna after Lipa mentioned that Jamiroquai was one of her reference points. Moodymann adjusts his sound to fit Lipa's on his remix, a modern dance and Detroit house track. The track makes us of a bass lick, cowbells, weird ambiance as well as clinking bottles and menacing laugh sound effects and looped vocals. The remix was placed as the tenth best dance song of 2020 by 'Billboard'.
Critical reception
Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic praised the song's mix of inspirations, and Brittany Spanos from 'Rolling Stone' labelled the INXS influence "bewitching".

Music video
Background and production
The accompanying music video for "Break My Heart" premiered via YouTube on 26 March 2020. It was directed by Henry Scholfield, who also directed Lipa's videos for "Lost in Your Light", "New Rules" (both 2017), and "IDGAF" (2018). The visual was shot in Bulgaria in January 2020 over the course of three days. It features slide clips that were inspired by the 1990s as well as a colour palette from the early works of Pedro Almodvar and iridescent landscapes from Japanese hotels. During filming for the video, Lipa had a case of the flu. For creation of it, VFX, wire work, and a tilting set were used. The sets for the music video were built across three stages and designed by Mark Connell.Synopsis
The music video begins with Lipa jumping on cars and walking through a traffic-jammed city block, while wearing a red jacket and black pants. The passengers in the cars are couples going through different parts of a relationship, with some kissing and some arguing. As she walks, one of the cars turns into a toy car being played with by a child outside of a man's vibrant, futuristic apartment. Lipa is then seen wearing a purple cardigan, black tights, white shoes and a skirt of the same colour. She walks into the man's apartment, struggling to maintain her balance in the apartment. This is a metaphor for Lipa being uncertain about whether her feelings are being reciprocated. After the scene, the apartment turns into a model boat on display in a neon-lit club, that tips to signify their relationship has taken a turn for the worst. In the club, Lipa observes various couples going through issues. She starts to dance on a disco floor in the middle of the restaurant before a wall explodes and she is sucked out.
Lipa lands on an airplane seat, followed by her getting up on the plane and walking to the back before it breaks in two. Lipa wears a pink wool jacket, and skirt with black lining, over a black shirt. She then begins to dance on the end of the plane before a life raft explodes on her, leading to Lipa waking up in a bed with a confused partner. She is seen wearing a pink Bambi wool sweater with white pants. Lipa runs scared into the bathroom, picking up her shoes, and beds with other men begin cycling through in the background. She then falls into the bathtub, which turns into a frothy pink martini that one of Lipa's backup dancers is holding while she dances on a bar couch. Lipa wears a Mirror Palais cropped red shirt and red and white checked tweed mini skirt. The music video concludes by looking at all the previous scenes and undoing some of the transitions, before Lipa blows a bubble sitting on a car from the first scene.
Reception
Shannon Miller of 'The A.V. Club' called the visual a "colorful music video punctuated with mind-bending effects and LED-lit sets". Rushbury labelled it a "multi-million-dollar remake" of the video for "Common People" (1995) by Pulp, writing that the clip has "snazzy visuals and couture outfits". In 'Soundigest', Kenly Campos wrote that the video is "extremely well-made" with its "colorful outfits and bubbly choreography". Callie Ahlgrim of 'Insider' described the video as "Lipa serving a variety of retro looks, dancing her cares away, and cycling through suitors in a surreal dreamscape." 'NME's Tom Skinner branded the visual "eye-popping" and "location-hopping". Writing for 'Idolator', Mike Wass called the sets "candy-colored", the choreography "laissez-faire", and wrote "Dua treats us to look after look, sullen glances".The "Break My Heart" music video was ranked as the 22nd best music video of 2020 by 'Billboard' while 'Insider' ranked it at number 32 on their year-end list for music videos.
