"Break My Heart Again" is a song by American singer-songwriter Finneas. It was released by OYOY on February 9, 2018. An indie-pop ballad, the song's lyrics are about a boy being hurt by someone he loves and not wanting to be hurt by them anymore. A music video for the track was uploaded to Finneas' YouTube channel on April 18, 2019, and was directed by Sam Bennett. In it, Finneas goes from singing about the one he loves to being completely heartbroken. Finneas performed the track live for Verizon Communications in April 2020.

Background and composition[edit]

"Break My Heart Again" was written and produced solely by Finneas.[1] It was released for digital download through his record label OYOY on February 9, 2018.[2] In an interview with Atwood Magazine, Finneas explains that "New Girl", "I'm in Love Without You" and "Break My Heart Again" were "all these songs that from the moment I started writing them to the time I recorded them it was a short period of time because I usually get obsessed with things like that and normally whatever else I had planned for that day goes out the window, if I feel like I have an idea I have to finish".[3]

According to sheet music website Musicnotes.com, "Break My Heart Again" runs "with a smooth flow" tempo at 72-76 beats per minute (BPM) and is played in the key of G major. Finneas' vocals range between E3 to D5.[4] Musically, "Break My Heart Again" features an indie-pop sound in constrast to Finneas' usual electronic productions he creates with his younger sister, Billie Eilish.[5] Finneas sings about his interactions with someone he loves and how they take advantage of him.[3] As the song comes to an end, tensions rise as he and the one he loves fight. Finneas reluctantly ends the relationship, saying it was not meant to be.[3]

Reception and promotion[edit]

Modestas Mankus of Our Culture Mag called the song an "emotional and attaching piece that grows on you as it progresses with its subtle touches and its genuineness".[6] Nicole Almedia of Atwood Magazine said it is "not only a soothing song for the brokenhearted, it is also proof of O’Connell’s supreme talent".[3]

A music video for "Break My Heart Again" was released to YouTube on April 18, 2019,[7] and was shot in black and white. The video was directed by Sam Bennett and choreographed by Monika Felice Smith. The clip opens with the camera turning around Finneas as he sings about getting hurt by the one he loves. As the song continues, Finneas starts tugging and pulling on his shirt, portraying how painful it is for him to let go of someone who means a lot to him.[5] Alex Darus of Alternative Press called the visual a "heart-wrenching black and white video that really put us in our feels".[8] In April 2020, Finneas performed "Break My Heart Again" during a 50-minute livestream for Verizon Communications.[9][10]
