"You Broke My Heart" is a song by Canadian rapper Drake from For All the Dogs Scary Hours Edition (2023), a reissue of his eighth studio album For All the Dogs (2023). It was produced by Vinylz and FnZ. It impacted US rhythmic radio as the fifth single on November 28, 2023.

Composition

[edit]

The song contains "stuttery" trap beats with string instruments in the production.[2][3] Through a rap-sung performance and Auto-Tuned vocals,[2][4] Drake criticizes his former partner.[4] In the bridge, he chants "Fuck my ex".[2][3][5]

Critical reception

[edit]

The song received generally positive reviews from music critics. Jordan Rose of Complex considered it the best song from For All the Dogs Scary Hours Edition.[5] Shahzaib Hussain of Clash described the bridge as "the apex of Drake's dismissal with bleak diaristic lines that draw a sharp intake of breath, or an eye roll."[4] In an album review, Nadine Smith of HipHopDX called it "The one track that sees Drake put aside the try-hard lyrical miracle aspirations" and "the kind of triumphantly vindictive anthem that few artists can do better."[3]
