"Heartbreak Song" is a country pop song written by Mickey Guyton, Mark Trussell, and April Geesbreght and produced by Trussell. [3] A "thumping" bass line carries the track, while Guyton delivers "straight-to-the-point", "incisive" lyrics with a "soulful" delivery. [4] The song was inspired by Guyton's ex-boyfriend, who was also the subject of previous single, "Better Than You Left Me", after Guyton learned that the man was "bragging" that she "wrote [the song] about him." [5] Critics have noted thematic similarities with her debut single in contrast to the more upbeat tone and more pop-leaning production. [6]
The staff of Taste of Country noted that the song is less of a "vocal showcase" than her previous single, but that Guyton "continues to prove her worth as a fine storyteller" on the track. [3] The blog also praised the song's radio-friendly sound. [3]
