"Bend And Break" is English piano rock band Keane's fifth and last song released as a single from the album Hopes And Fears. It is also their tenth single ever released. This single was released only in some european countries (not in the United Kingdom). The single features "Bend And Break", "On A Day Like Today" and a live version of "Allemande", as well as the "Bend And Break" live videoclip. "Bend And Break" is Richard Hughes' (drummer) favourite Keane song. This was also the last single that used the typeface "Cochin", the one used in the Hopes And Fears era.

It was composed by Tim Rice-Oxley in 2001 so it was first played at the pubs where they used to play. First demos were almost the same as the album version, but with an extra vocal on the song's bridge, like the one on the final chorus of "Somewhere Only We Know". It was recorded like most Keane songs at the Helioscentric Studios, Rye, East Sussex.
