"Break It Up" was the fourth single taken from the album, "4", by the band, Foreigner, and the first to feature a b-side that was not available on one of their albums, a live version of their Hit, "Head Games". The tune was written by Mick Jones and reached number 26 in the U.S. charts where the album, "4", had already gone to number 1, eventually selling more than six-times platinum.
Norwegian hard rock/heavy metal singer Jorn Lande has covered this song on his first album Starfire.
