Heartbreak Lullaby was an A*Teens single release for The Princess Diaries movie soundtrack in Europe and Asia. The song was written by Jan Kask, Peter Mansson and Cathy Dennis.

The single had minor exposure due to big competition on the winter releases by many artists.

"...To The Music" was originally planned as the fourth single from the album, but Disney wanted the A*Teens to participate on the soundtrack for the movie The Princess Diaries, the movie was already out in the US and Latin America, for that reason, the single was only released in Europe and Asia.

The song reached #6 on the Swedish charts and #77 on the German charts in December 2001.

The single release had "I Wish It Could Be X-Mas Everyday" added and it was later included on a Disney Compilation of Christmas Songs for the American market.

By public demand, the song was released on radio and TV in Mexico in January 2002 to promote the album "Teen Spirit - New Version" but failed to get

For the radio promotion and the video, the "Ray Hedges 7" Mix" of the track was used instead of the main version of the song. the "ballad version" of the album was included on the "Greatest Hits" and "New Arrival" albums.
