Background and release

[edit]

Måneskin's lead vocalist Damiano David started his solo musical career with the release of "Silverlines" on 27 September 2024, a Labrinth-produced single.[1] It served as the lead single from his upcoming debut studio album, scheduled to be released in 2025.[2] The second single, "Born with a Broken Heart", was released in the following month, on 25 October.[3]

Composition

[edit]

In a statement while releasing the song, David said: "When I wrote this song I was getting out of a very dark place, I was feeling emotionless [...] I think the song was a way to make myself make sense of what I was feeling and look at it from a less scary prospective".[4] Containing dramatic vocals and an anthemic production,[5] the lyrics of the song explore emotional numbness and fear during a relationship.[3]

The song is written in a key of B major, modulating to C♯ major on the final chorus, with a tempo at 172 beats per minute.

Music video

[edit]

A music video for "Born with a Broken Heart" premiered on the same date at 12pm British Summer Time.[4] About the video, David said: "[It] is my personal fantasy. A world where no matter what, once you step through the door, everything becomes magical and beautiful".[5] The video draws heavily on inspiration from Old Hollywood movies such as Singin' In The Rain and choreography inspired by Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire. Damiano is joined by dancer Lexee Smith in the video.

Live performances

[edit]

Alongside "Silverlines", David played an unaired rendition of "Born with a Broken Heart" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, which premiered digitally on 28 October.[6] On the same date, he performed the track as part of his first one-off concert at (Le) Poisson Rouge in New York City.[7] He also sang it for Sirius XM, alongside a cover of "Die with a Smile" by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars.[8]
