"Breakdown" is the debut single by hard rock band Tantric and the lead single from their self-titled album. It is the band's most successful song, having reached #1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks and helped the album achieve platinum status in 2001.

Lyrically, "Breakdown" describes a person filled with resentment and self-disgust. The music video, which found substantial airplay on MTV2, follows this theme. Contrary to the band's acoustic-heavy sound, "Breakdown" also utilizes a digital effect at the end of the chorus.

The song was included on the soundtrack to the 2001 film Driven and The Shield: Music from the Streets in 2005. It was also featured on the Spin This, Monitor This!, and Noize compilations.
