"Broken Heart is a song by American rock band Escape the Fate. It was their first single off of their sixth studio album I Am Human. As of July 2018, it had peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart.
The song was first released on January 16, 2018, alongside an accompanying lyric video.[2] The single was one of four songs released in advance of the release of their sixth studio album, I Am Human on March 30, 2018.[3] The song's music video was released a week ahead of the album's released on March 24, 2018.[4] The video, directed by Frankie Nasso, follows the same themes as the song's lyrical themes, chronicling an emotional romantic breakup, featuring alternating between footage of the band performing and a young woman dancing to the music while showering and getting ready for her day, while avoiding calls and texts from their ex-romantic partner.[5] [6]
The song was described as being about working through a difficult emotional breakup, and the relief that comes with finally being able to move on.[7] Journalists described its composition in a variety of ways, including that it had a clear pop punk influence,[8] to it having the guitar tones, chord progression, lyrics, and vocal melodies commonly found in 2000s post-hardcore.[9]
