Heart to Break

## **Heart to Break**Single by Kim Petras

"**Heart to Break**" is a song by Kim Petras released on February 14, 2018, and is a part of the *Era 1* project. The music video was released on April 26, 2018.

## Background

Kim talked about the production of the song in for Interview: " I love it. We’ve had it for a while. It took so much time to write it because we never felt like it was just right. It took three months or something to get the right version.[...] I’m really proud of it!"

## Theme

The song is about starting a relationship when you’re extremely infatuated with someone. Even if the relationship ends and she’ll be a mess at the end of it, she won’t mind because the experience of love was worth it.

"It’s basically like love suicide. Here, have my heart, I know you’re going to suck and you’re going or break it and you’re going to kill me with this, but fuck it, I’m going to jump into this unhealthy relationship with a smile. [laughs] Which is very autobiographical for me. I just have a history of falling in love with the wrong guys, where everybody is like, “Dude, don’t,” and then I totally do and I don’t care. I totally know how it’s going to end but I still do it. That’s just a repeated mistake that I make and so it’s a song about that." – Petras said about the song for Interview Magazine.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Any time that you like

Gonna give you my heart to break

Angel eyes, tell me lies

Gonna give you my heart to break

[Pre-Chorus]

One look at you, I'm powerless

I feel my body saying "yes"

Where's my self control?

Ah, and when you touch me, I'm a fool

This game, I know I'm gonna lose

Makes me want you more

[Chorus]

Even if it means that I'll never put myself back together

Gonna give you my heart to break

Even if I'll end up in shatters, baby, it doesn't matter

Gonna give you my heart to break

I tried to fight, but I can't help it

Don't care if this is my worst mistake

'Cause no one else could do it better

And that's why I give you my heart to break

[Verse 2]

Butterflies every time

Gonna give you my heart to break

Devilish, uh, every kiss

Gonna give you my heart to break, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

One look at you, I'm powerless

I feel my body saying "yes"

Where's my self control?

Ah, and when you touch me, I'm a fool

This game, I know I'm gonna lose

Makes me want you more

[Chorus]

Even if it means that I'll never put myself back together

Gonna give you my heart to break

Even if I'll end up in shatters, baby, it doesn't matter

Gonna give you my heart to break

I tried to fight, but I can't help it

Don't care if this is my worst mistake (no)

'Cause no one else could do it better

(No one else, better, and that's why I...)

And that's why I give you my heart to break

[Bridge]

Every time

Heart to break

Woo-ah!

Every time

Heart to break

Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

One look at you, I'm powerless

I feel my body saying "yes"

Where's my self control?

Ah, and when you touch me, I'm a fool

This game, I know I'm gonna lose

Makes me want you more

More, more

[Chorus]

Even if it means that I'll never put myself back together

Gonna give you my heart to break

Even if I'll end up in shatters, baby, it doesn't matter

Gonna give you my heart to break

I tried to fight, but I can't help it (I tried to fight, help it)

Don't care if this is my worst mistake

'Cause no one else could do it better

(No one else, better, and that's why I...)

And that's why I give you my heart to break
