Break Down Here
"Break Down Here" is the debut single by American country music artist Julie Roberts. The song was written by Jess Brown and Patrick Jason Matthews, with Brent Rowan providing production on the song. The song was initially recorded by Trace Adkins in 2003, but his version was not released as a single. Mercury Nashville released the song to country radio on February 23, 2004, as the lead single to her eponymous debut studio album (2004).
The single reached number 18 on the US Hot Country Songs chart, becoming Roberts' sole top-forty hit on the chart.
The song's B-side, included on the vinyl and CD single, was a cover of Suzy Bogguss's "No Way Out", from her 1996 album Give Me Some Wheels.
The song was originally recorded as "I'd Sure Hate to Break Down Here" by country singer Trace Adkins on his 2003 album Comin' On Strong. However, his version of the song was not released as a single.
"Break Down Here" is a mid-tempo ballad centered on the narrator, who is driving by herself on the freeway, escaping a failed relationship with all of her belongings in the back of the vehicle. Realizing that her car is beginning to make a noise and that she is far from an exit, she states that she would "sure hate to break down here". The phrase has a double meaning: she does not want the vehicle to break down, and she does not want to break down and cry ("I've made it this far without crying a single tear").
A music video was released for the song, directed by Steven Goldmann. Roberts is driving through a desolate country road with her ex-lover passed out in the shotgun seat. During the course of the video, she tosses mementos from her now finished relationship out the window, and eventually her ex-lover disappears, having been revealed to be a hallucination. Shots of Roberts singing in her stopped car while the rain is pouring outside and her car breaking down are interspersed throughout the video.
The video was added to GAC-TV's playlists during the week of February 29, 2004.
Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times described the song favorably, calling it "one of the year's best country ballads" and "an aching but resolute lament".
