In the words of Gavin Bowles: ""Break My Heart" is a very personal and vulnerable song for me. It’s a song about being trapped in a toxic relationship cycle. I always write from my own experiences and often wear my heart on my sleeve, but this is territory I’ve never gone to before. Writing this album and this song in particular really helped me get through a rough time. I’ve kept this song close to my chest for a little while, but I’m ready to share it and am very proud of it."
