A música Breakeven foi escrita pela banda irlandesa The Script. Ela descreve os sentimentos de um coração partido e a disparidade emocional entre os envolvidos em um término. A inspiração veio das próprias experiências amorosas dos membros da banda, tornando a música altamente relacionável para quem já passou por perdas similares.
