"Break It Down Again" is a song by the British band Tears for Fears, released as the first single from their 1993 album Elemental. The song was an international hit, reaching the top 40 in several countries, and also reached #1 on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.
The song was also the second single released after the departure of Curt Smith (after "Laid So Low (Tears Roll Down)" in 1992), since he had split from Orzabal in 1991. As with the Elemental album, the song featured Roland Orzabal with peripheral TFF members Alan Grffiths and Gail Ann Dorsey.
