Breakin' in a Brand New Broken Heart

About Breakin' in a Brand New Broken Heart

"Breakin' in a Brand New Broken Heart" is a popular song written by Howard Greenfield and Jack Keller. It was recorded by Connie Francis in an October 18, 1960, New York City session conducted and arranged by Stan Applebaum; the same session produced "Where the Boys Are" to which "Breakin' in a Brand New Broken Heart" was released as the follow-up single in April 1961, reaching the Top 10 in May with a Billboard Hot 100 peak of #7 (#5 on the Cash Box Pop 100). Although "Breakin' in a Brand New Broken Heart" was Francis' seventh consecutive A-side to reach the Top 10 - and her eleventh Top 10 overall - the single did mark a dip in her popularity as, while Francis' previous eight singles had had both A- and B-sides chart, the single's B-side "Someone Else's Boy" was overlooked in the U. S. despite becoming an international success for Francis via her recording versions in eight languages. In the UK, "Breakin' in a Brand New Broken Heart" reached #12 in June 1961; the track reached the Top 10 in Australia (#8) and New Zealand (#2) that July and in September 1961 reached #7 in the Netherlands with a Top 10 ranking in India in December. Also in 1961, Francis' rendering in Italian as "La Valle Senzo Eco" ("The valley without echo") was a Top 10 hit in Italy - #9 that October - and the same year while a version in soumi: "Äsken särkyi sydämeni", was cut by Marjatta Leppänen(fi) for release in Finland. more »

If my friends should ask for me, 
Here at home is where I'll be
There's no one I care to see,
I'm breaking in a brand new broken heart
Now the heartaches have begun,
There's a job that must be done
I have no time for havin' fun,
I'm breaking in a brand new broken heart
Leave me alone and let me cry, cry, cry
There are tears that must be cried 
Till there's no more tears inside
Let me take the count of ten,
Then I'll bounce right back again
Let me be alone till then,
I'm breaking in a brand new broken heart
I'm breaking in a brand new broken heart
