Breakaway

About Breakaway

"Breakaway" is a song from the album Another Place and Time by Donna Summer, recorded in 1989. The song was released in October 1989 as the fourth single from the album. The album was written by popular British production team Stock, Aitken & Waterman and produced four UK hit singles, including the international smash "This Time I Know It's For Real". Three of these hits later turned up on a Europe-only compilation album entitled The Best of Donna Summer, released in 1990 by Warner Bros. Records. The album also included "Breakaway" which had previously only been released as a single in the US. However, due to the album's popularity and following the re-release of the 1982 hit "State of Independence" a brand new remixed version of "Breakaway" by Phil Harding and Ian Curnow was issued in the single form, and made the U. K. Top 50. Even though the single wasn't very successful in most English-speaking countries, it proved to be surprisingly well received in Latin America, where it charted in countries such as Peru and Argentina. In Brazil,packed by the telenovela Despedida de Solteiro the single was her 7th number one in the country and the accompanying music video received extensive airplay and they are, to date, among Summer's most recognizable tunes. more »

For too long she was feeling
That her love had lost it meaning
She was looking for a reason
Not to breakaway
But I don't think she can take it

She'll be strong enough for two although 
It's hard for her to do
She'll breakaway
Oh, oh, oh she'll breakaway

Forget about the bad times
Remember all the good times
Hold your head up high
And breakaway
Forget about the bad times
Remember all the good times
Hold your head up high

Oh, oh, oh she'll breakaway

It's a secret she's been keeping
It's been eating at her heart
Wish I could find the words to tell you
But I don't know where to start
And when she looks into the future
She sees too many problems
There are so many reasons
She should pack up the past
And breakaway
Oh, oh, oh she'll breakaway

Forget about the bad times
Remember all the good times
Hold your head up high
And breakaway
Forget about the bad times
Remember all the good times
Hold your head up high

Oh, oh, oh she'll breakaway
