"Break My Heart" is a song by English singer Dua Lipa. It was released on 25 March 2020 through Warner Records as the third single from her second studio album Future Nostalgia (2020)[1][2] and will impact contemporary hit radio on 31 March as the second US single off the album.[3] The song was written by Lipa, Alexandra Tamposi and its producers the Monsters & Strangerz. "Break My Heart" samples the melody from "Need You Tonight" (1987) by INXS, thus Michael Hutchence and Andrew Farriss are also credited as songwriters.[2]

Background

"Break My Heart" was leaked in January 2020 along with "Physical."[2] Lipa first revealed that the song would serve as the third single from Future Nostalgia in March 2020 on the Australian TV show Sunrise.[4] Lipa revealed the cover art and announced that the song would be released on 27 March 2020.[5][6] She later pushed up the release of the song to 25 March 2020 due to a potential and full leak of the album.[7]

Lipa said that she sees the song as a "celebration of vulnerability and being open about the vulnerable side of being in love, where I previously saw as weakness.[8]

Composition

Musically, "Break My Heart" is a three minute and forty-one second dance-pop[9] and disco-pop[10] song with a europop beat[11] in a "retro-futuristic" style.[10] It features bouncing-ball bass, handclaps[12], a staccato bass rhythm[13] and an "uplifting retro-inspired dance beat".[14] The song samples the melody from "Need You Tonight" by INXS.[15] Lyrically, the song is about being unable to resist the temptation of pursuing love.[16]

In terms of music notation, "Break My Heart" was composed using 4
4 common time in the key of E minor, with a tempo of 115 beats per minute.[17] Lipa's vocal range spans from the low note E3 to the high note of B4, giving the song four notes of range.[17]

Music video

The song's accompanying music video premiered via YouTube premiere on 26 March 2020 and was directed by Henry Scholfield.[18][19] The video was shot in Sofia, Bulgaria in January 2020 over the course of five days.[20][21][22] The video features a set of "’90s-inspired slide clips."[23]

Synopsis

The video begins with Lipa jumping on cars and walking through a traffic-jammed city block.[24] She is then seen in a man's apartment where she struggles to maintain her balance.[25] This is a metaphor for being uncertain about whether her feelings are being reciprocated.[25] Lipa then finds herself in a restaurant where she observes various couples going through issues.[19] She starts to dance on a disco floor in the middle of the restaurant before a wall explodes and she is sucked out.[24][25] She lands on an airplane seat where she gets up and walks to the back before it breaks off.[19] The carpet used on the plane is that of The Shining (1980).[24] Lipa then begins to dance on the end of the plane before a life raft explodes on her and she wakes up in a bed with a confused partner.[19] She runs scared into the bathroom picking up her shoes and beds with other men begin cycling through in the background.[19] She then falls into the bathtub which turns into a frothy pink martini one of Lipa's backup dancers is holding while she dances on a bar couch.[25] The video concludes 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.[18]
