"Oh Cecilia (Breaking My Heart)",which is a pop song,is an adaptation of Simon &Garfunkel's 1970 hit song "Cecilia",with interpolated sampling occurring throughout the song. The verse lyrics do not follow those of the original song,though they still heavily rely on the main chorus (Cecilia,you're breaking my heart / You're shaking my confidence daily / Oh Cecilia I'm down on my knees / I'm begging you please to come home). [1] [2]
Two music videos exist for the song. One of them features the Vamps and Mendes shipwrecked in an area they don't initially realise is already inhabited,sending out an SOS and then bolting upon sight of a plane,and the other is in support of charity and features famous faces. [3]
