"Unbreak My Heart" is a song composed by Diane Warren, an American songwriter, in 1996. The song was first recorded by Toni Braxton, an American singer, and was released as the second single from her album "Secrets" in 1996. The song became a massive hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and staying there for eleven weeks. It also topped the charts in several other countries, including Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The song is a ballad that is composed in the key of B-flat minor. It has a slow tempo and is characterized by its emotional lyrics and powerful vocals. The song is divided into several movements, each of which builds on the previous one to create a powerful and moving musical experience. The first movement of the song begins with a simple piano melody that sets the tone for the rest of the piece. The lyrics of the first verse describe the pain and heartbreak that the singer is feeling after a failed relationship. The second movement of the song features a more complex arrangement, with strings and percussion added to the mix. The lyrics of the second verse describe the singer's attempts to move on from the relationship, but her heart remains broken. The third movement of the song is the chorus, which is the most powerful and emotional part of the piece. The lyrics of the chorus implore the singer's former lover to "unbreak" her heart and make things right again. The chorus is characterized by its soaring vocals and the use of a gospel choir, which adds to the emotional impact of the song. The fourth movement of the song features a guitar solo, which adds a new dimension to the piece. The lyrics of the bridge describe the singer's realization that she still loves her former lover and that she is willing to forgive him if he will only come back to her. The final movement of the song is a repeat of the chorus, which brings the piece to a powerful and emotional conclusion. The song is a testament to Diane Warren's skill as a songwriter and Toni Braxton's talent as a vocalist. It remains one of the most popular and beloved ballads of all time.
