context_page_description: "Breakin' Point" is a song by Swedish band Peter Bjorn and John from their seventh studio album Breakin' Point. It was released on 25 March 2016 through PBJ Musik and Ingrid as the album's second single. Written by the band and produced by Emile Haynie, "Breakin' Point" is a midtempo pop song with lyrics alluding to the protagonist's concerns about expecting a child. It features a whistling intro, which the band were initially hesitant to include as their breakthrough single "Young Folks" had a similar composition. They eventually decided "Breakin' Point" would represent a fitting tribute as it was conceived near the ten-year anniversary of "Young Folks".
  Music critics were generally positive towards "Breakin' Point" and noted its catchiness. Commercially, the single only appeared below the top 50 of the Wallonian Ultratip chart. A remix by Swedish band Miike Snow was also released. The song's accompanying music video was shot in Poland on several locations, including Wolin National Park. It was directed by Danish-Norwegian duo HochR, who took inspiration from the rivers of Hades in the underworld from Greek mythology, particularly the river Styx.
context_section_description: Danish-Norwegian duo HochR (Howlid and Rosenbak) directed the accompanying music video for "Breakin' Point". The directors created a treatment based on the rivers that surround Hades in the underworld in Greek mythology, particularly the river Styx. HochR wanted to capture a modern take on Hades and avoided a "typical dark, burning underworld", instead opting for a "seemingly fairytale forest" and "sunny sand dunes". The video was shot on location in Poland over three days. The desert scenes were shot in Wolin National Park and additional scenes nearby a river outside of Warsaw. The Christ the King statue in Świebodzin, Poland appears in the video. The visual premiered on 14 June 2016 on Noisey.
  The video commences as the protagonist wakes up in the backseat of a car. He exits and the car drives off. He meets a ferryman by the river of Styx and boards a ferry, taking him to a forest where he is accompanied by his "inner fable animal", a creature with long fur resembling yarn strings on a mop. He then meets two other men by a Jesus statue. While the protagonist is sleeping in the forest, the creature begins to drag him out of the forest and into a desert. The man wakes up while being dragged through the desert, and the creature lets him go when after he hits it with sticks. The man climbs a hill where he meets the creature again. He stands by it while overlooking the desert landscape, where other humans roam accompanied by their fable animals. Tom Breihan, writing for Stereogum, named the visual the fifth best music video of the week of its release, asserting "The final reveal here is a good one, and it makes me wish I had my own mop creature."
