Background and release

Swift started working on The Tortured Poets Department immediately after she submitted her tenth studio album, Midnights , to Republic Records for release in 2022. She continued working on it in secrecy throughout the US leg of the Eras Tour in 2023. [1] The album's conception took place amidst media reports on Swift's broken relationship with the English actor Joe Alwyn and her short romantic linking with the English musician Matty Healy while she was on the early run of the Eras Tour. [2] She described The Tortured Poets Department as a "lifeline" for her and an album which she "really needed" to make. [3]

Republic Records released The Tortured Poets Department on April 19, 2024; [4] "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart" is 13th on the track list. [5] From May 2024, the track was included in the revamped setlist of the Eras Tour. [6] The performance started with a sketch that resembled silent films: backup dancers galvanized a tired Swift into getting dressed to continue performing, as a jazzy tune played in the background. [7] [8] [9] Props that were used in the number evoked Golden Age of Hollywood, such as tailcoats, feathers, and canes; Ludovic Hunter-Tilney of the Financial Times thought that the choreography was inspired by the film director Busby Berkeley. [10] [11]

To celebrate the European leg of the tour, Universal Music Group released the song to Italian radio as the second single from the album on July 2, 2024. [12] In the United States, Republic Records sent the song to pop radio stations on July 12, 2024. [13] The track was released digitally on music streaming services on July 16, 2024; the cover artwork is a capture of Swift's performance of the song at the Eras Tour concert in Lyon, France, on June 2, 2024. [14] A remix of "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart" by Dombresky was released on September 13. [15]

The music video for the song was released on August 20, and premiered during the final show of the European leg of the Eras Tour. The video features a compilation of footage and behind-the-scenes clips of Swift preparing for the tour. [16] It also includes rehearsals for the live performance of "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart", costume changes and Swift entering a cleaning cart prop used to transport her onto the raised stage. The video also features the tour's choreographers, dancers, backing vocalists, and musicians. [17]

Music and lyrics

Swift wrote and produced "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart" with Jack Antonoff, who programmed the track and played the drums, piano, and synthesizer. The track was recorded by Laura Sisk and Oli Jacobs, who provided background vocals, percussion, and a spoken word. [18] "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart" is an upbeat electropop, [5] [19] dance-pop, [20] and new wave song. [21] The song is written in common time with tempo of 132 beats per minute and in the key of C major. [22] Its incorporation of house elements [23] and a bubblegum- and dance-friendly beat is a contrast to the album's predominantly moody atmosphere. [24] [25] It is instrumented by percolating synth arpeggios. [26] [27] Critics compared the song's production to Swift's 2022 track "Mastermind" [26] [28] and the music of other artists such as Robyn [29] or the Pet Shop Boys. [27] [30]

The song is lyrically a "pep talk" to oneself about persevering in the face of being a public figure despite personal heartbreak. [31] Joel Calfee of Harper's Bazaar considered it to be a "deceptively upbeat" song, wherein "Swift gets candid about what it was like to perform through the heartbreak". [32] Music journalists suggested "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart" discusses Swift's need to hide her negative emotions regarding the breakup while performing on her tour ("All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting 'more'."). [19] [33] [34] [35] Will Harris of Q wrote that the lyrics showcased "romantic confusion and heartbreak", citing the lyrics, "I'm so depressed, I act like it's my birthday every day/ I'm so obsessed with him, but he avoids me like the plague." [36]

Variety gave the song a positive review in its review of the parent album, considering it to be the album's climax and suggested it was "sure to be one of the most talked-about and replayed tracks". [37] In a ranking of all 31 tracks of The Anthology edition of The Tortured Poets Department, Billboard ranked the song in eighth place, considering the song "rollicking, snarky and strikingly funny". [26] Clash's Lauren Webb described the track as "triumphantly-erupting". [38] Josh Kurp of Uproxx selected "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart" as one of the album's "strong songs", [39] while Alex Hudson from Exclaim! opined that its production makes it the only track that stands out on the album. [24] Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine opined that the song was a "viable radio [hit]". [40]

Writing for The Guardian , Laura Snapes considered the lyric "lights, camera, bitch smile" to be "meme-worthy" and "makes clear why she wanted [her music] back on TikTok." [27] In NME , Laura Molloy deemed "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart" "poised for internet virality than anything more substantial". [41] Olivia Horn from Pitchfork similarly suggested that the lyrics were "versed in memespeak" and the music was too familiar to Swift and Antonoff's past collaborations. [28] By contrast, Tom Breihan of Stereogum wrote that the song showcased "a musical energy and inventiveness" that suggested a new path for Swift's artistry, praising the vocals and keyboard instrumentation. [23] Writing for Beats Per Minute , John Wohlmacher said the song is "so unabashedly unhinged and manic that it's pure joy". [42]

Commercial performance

Following the album's release, its tracks occupied the top nine of the Billboard Global 200; "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart" debuted at its peak of number five on the chart, where it extended Swift's top-10 entries to 33. [43] [44] In the United States, the song opened and peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. It along with 13 tracks from the album made Swift the first artist to monopolize the top 14 of the Hot 100. [45] [46] Following its release as a single, the song also peaked at number four on Adult Pop Airplay and number six on the Pop Airplay charts, marking Swift's record-extending 32nd top ten hit on the former and her 25th top ten hit on the latter. [47] [48] In Australia, it reached number five on the ARIA Singles Chart and made her the artist with the most entries in a single week with 29. [49] [50]
