"Dr. Luke", for Raven's international debut studio album ''[Here I Am](/source/Here_I_Am_(Marion_Raven_album))'' (2005). The track was released as the lead single in [Japan](/source/Japan) and [Norway](/source/Norway) and was the second single from the album that was released in [Southeast Asia](/source/Southeast_Asia) in 2005. The single was highly successful and was well received by critics. The single was released after Raven left [Atlantic Records](/source/Atlantic_Records), due to "artistic differences" and joined [Eleven Seven Music](/source/Eleven_Seven_Music). Raven performed an acoustic folk-rock version of ''Break You'' during her 2013 ''[Songs from a Blackbird](/source/Songs_from_a_Blackbird)'' Norwegian tour. == Content == The song's angsty post-grunge vibe and lyrics about bad relationships represents Raven's scorn and anger towards her ex-boyfriend. == Music video == The music video for the song, shot in [Los Angeles](/source/Los_Angeles) between a Dogsprison and a strip club, was recorded in March 2005 by director [Brett Simon](/source/Brett_Simon). It shows scenes of Raven trashing her ex-boyfriend's apartment, slicing furniture into half and burning the other half at an alley, signifying that she is getting rid of the half that belongs to her ex-boyfriend. There are also instances where Raven lashes out at hands (most likely to be those of her ex-boyfriend) that try to stop her while she continues ruining the house. == Singles and track listings == ;Norway and Japan single #"Break You" (Album version) #"Surfing The Sun" (Japanese ''Here I Am'' release version) ;Swedish single #"Break You" (Album version) #"There I Said It" (Unreleased B-side single) ;Mexican single #"Break You" (Album version) * '''Japan promo single''' #"Break You" (Album version) #Exclusive picture sleeve" (CD-Rom Bonus content) #Different front cover == Reception == * "Break You" is Raven's most successful solo single to date.
