Composition

"Break My Heart" is a part of the sonic departure from the pop punk style Hey Violet previously created to a more synth-based sound. Lead singer Rena Lovelis described the single as a song that is "capable of experimenting with new sounds and toying with synths."[3]

Critical reception

Alternative Press called the song a "jam",[3] while Popdust dubbed it as "a full-blown addiction".[4] Mike Wass from Idolator described the song as a "monstrous electro-anthem".[1] In a review of From the Outside, Heather Phares noted that the song "takes its cues from late-2010s trends like tropical pop and EDM, but the hooks are all Hey Violet".[2]

The music video for "Break My Heart", directed by Darren Craig and Jesse Heath, premiered on April 3, 2017.[5]
