Background

Moskaluke stated that "Heartbreaker" is a direction that she had not "explored yet both in the music and the lyrics," as she had "written many songs about the heartbreak of a woman," but not about the "heartbreak of a man". She added that when writing the song with Corey Crowder and Emily Shackelton, they "tried to embody the sense of longing that comes along with falling for someone emotionally broken from a previous relationship". [5]

Critical reception

Nanci Dagg of Canadian Beats Media stated that "Heartbreaker" provides "an evolved and dynamic country sound" for Moskaluke, noting her "big voice, pop-infused hooks, and sonic versatility". [6]

Music video

The official music video for "Heartbreaker" premiered on YouTube on March 11, 2022, and was directed by Andrew Freedom Parry. [7] Moskaluke wears three different outfits throughout the video, which she intended to represent different types of love: "fun, carefree, passionate, and sometimes dreamy". [8] [9]
