"Break Every Rule" is a single recorded by Grammy Award winning rock singer Tina Turner. It was the title track to both Turner's 1986 album of the same name and the name of her 1986/1987 world tour and was also released as a single in early 1987 to support the album and the tour. The promo video shows Turner performing the track on stage as well as behind-the-scenes footage of Turner and her band from the tour. The country-flavoured song was written by British composer and singer Rupert Hine and his then girlfriend Jeanette Obstoj, who had previously composed "I Might Have Been Queen" on the Private Dancer album, which also included another track produced by Hine, Better Be Good To Me. The "Break Every Rule" 12" single included both an Extended Dance Mix and an Extended Rock Mix.
