Miley Cyrus and Mark Ronson Go Disco On Single 'Nothing Breaks Like A Heart'
Two of music's most special voices unite for one wild trip to country town via the strip club...
Mark Ronson, Miley Cyrus - it's a double return!
Mark Ronson has teamed up with Miley Cyrus for the first single of his upcoming album, the follow-up to his enormous Uptown Special record.
‘Nothing Breaks Like A Heart’ is a dramatic, disco-kissed country moment that allows Miley to have her own ‘Jolene’ moment, while she trades in the plaid vibes of Younger Now to embrace something much more '70s glam for the video.
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
And nothing breaks like a heart
I heard you on the phone last night
We live and die by pretty lies
You know it, oh, we both know it
These silver bullet cigarettes
This burning house, there's nothing left
It's smoking, we both know it
We got all night to fall in love
But just like that we fall apart
We're broken, we're broken
Mmm, well nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now
Well, there's broken silence
By thunder crashing in the dark
(Crash in the dark)
And this broken record
Spin endless circles in the bar
(Spin 'round in the bar)
This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
Mhmm, and nothing breaks like a heart
We'll leave each other cold as ice
And high and dry, the desert wind
Is blowing, is blowing
Remember what you said to me?
We were drunk in love in Tennessee
And I hold it, we both know it
Mmm, nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now
Nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now
Well, there's broken silence
By thunder crashing in the dark
(Crash in the dark)
And this broken record
Spin endless circles in the bar
(Spin 'round in the bar)
This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
Mhmm, and nothing breaks like a heart
Nothing breaks like a heart
Mhmm, and nothing breaks like a heart
(My heart, my heart)
Nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now
(My heart, my heart)
Nothing, nothing, nothing gon' save us now
Well, there's broken silence
By thunder crashing in the dark
(Crash in the dark)
And this broken record
Spin endless circles in the bar
(Spin 'round in the bar)
This world can hurt you
It cuts you deep and leaves a scar
Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart
Mhmm, but nothing breaks like a heart
But nothing breaks like a heart
Mhmm, but nothing breaks like a heart
Co-written by the two superstars with production from Jamie xx, the track touches on romantic heartbreak while also doubling as a subtle political statement about gun culture in America, emphasised in the video.
"This world can hurt you, it cuts you deep and leaves a scar / Things fall apart, but nothing breaks like a heart, ooh," she sings. "Nothing breaks like a heart."
Any brilliant track deserves an equally brilliant video and they certainly deliver in that department, as the political visual follows Miley on an intense car chase.
Guns, strippers, priests, and a ‘wild ride'? Miley still knows how to ruffle some feathers, and she is front and centre of all the action in her five door hatchback - and draped in diamonds, no less.
From the massive strings in the very first second, it is clear that ‘Nothing Breaks Like A Heart’ is something special, and the larger than life video only makes this more evident.
We don’t yet know if Miley and Mark have any other collaborations coming but we could do with an entire album of this, quite frankly. Miley has been working on her own new album since the end of last year so, although she's reunited with Bangerz producer Mike WiLL Made-It, it's very likely that Ronson may return the favour and appear on hers.
Welcome back, MM!
