Hot off the heels of his 19th number one single, the up-tempo reflective “John Cougar, John Deer, John 3:16,” Keith Urban slows it down with his next single “Break On Me”, the second single off of his upcoming album Ripcord.
Urban’s music has controlled the ability to pull at listeners heartstrings, and this newest release is no exception – portraying the emotional yet rock solid man in the relationship, Urban brings sensitivity and empathy that female fans crave. The lyrics are engaging to anyone who has been in a relationship and needed that someone to lean on during painful times, and you might want to keep your tissues close by, as most can identify with wanting to shatter like glass and just come apart at the seams.
Break on me, shatter like glass
Come apart in my hands, take as long as it takes girl
Break on me
Put your hand on my chest, let me help you forget
When your heart needs to break
just break on me
Writers Ross Copperman (whom also co-wrote the aforemention #19 number 1) and John Nite did an exemplary job of creating a strong yet emotional song; they have a firm grasp on articulating emotions where others may fail. Some might wonder if this was written after Keith’s wife, Nicole Kidman, unexpectedly lost her father in 2014, and it is no doubt that Urban will need his own “rock” to lean on, as his father recently entered hospice.
For those who have lost a love one this details exactly what you need when you are going through this inconsolable time. Could this be Keith Urban’s 20th number one single? We think so!
“Break On Me” is available where all digital media is sold.
