"Break It Down Again"
Song

"Break It Down Again" is a song by British band Tears For Fears, released as the first single from their 1993 album Elemental. The song was an international hit, reaching #20 in the UK, #25 in the US, and the Top 40 in several other countries, also topping the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.[1] It was particularly successful in Italy, where it peaked at #7 and in Canada, reaching #4 for two consecutive weeks in August 1993.

The song was the second single released after the departure of Curt Smith from the band (after "Laid So Low" in 1992). As with the Elemental album, the song featured Roland Orzabal with peripheral Tears For Fears band members Alan Griffiths and Gail Ann Dorsey.

Music video

The music video shows Orzabal, Griffiths, and Dorsey performing the song on the desert El Mirage Dry Lake, California, where the "Break It Down Again" single and the Elemental album covers were taken. The video was directed by Dani Jacobs.
