"Broken Bones"
(1998)
"You're a Superstar"
(1999)

"Broken Bones" is the debut title of a song recorded by Canadian eurodance group Love Inc.. It was released in November 1997 as the leadoff single from the album Love Inc. and as a cut on the Club Cutz 3 compilation released by RCA Records in the United States. The song lyrics dealt with a person, who despite being a victim of prejudice from others, succeeding in making their dreams come true.

Despite the single reaching the top spot on RPM's Dance Chart and peaking at No. 6 on its Canadian Airplay Chart in March 1998, it only got as far as No. 31 on the RPM Top 100 singles chart in May 1998 during its fifteen-week run there. However, the song's video would also help the act win a Best Video and Best Dance Video award at the 1998 MuchMusic Video Awards.[1] and the song itself would give the act a Juno Award for Best Dance Recording in 1999. It would find success overseas four years after the group broke up, where it reached No. 8 in the United Kingdom in 2003.
