What to know about "Breakeven" by The Script

Released off the band's self-titled debut album in 2008, "Breakeven" reached the number 12 position on the Billboard US Hot 100 charts.

"We realized there wasn’t a song out there that kinda spoke from the guy’s perspective on an actual breakup," guitarist Mark Sheehan told Billboard of the song in 2017. "We knew we had a great song, we knew we really liked the song, we love playing it as a band, but we didn’t really know if it was gonna be as big of a song as it was."
