"Breakfast at Tiffany's" is a song by American rock band Deep Blue Something, released in 1996 on their album Home. The song is a reference to the classic Audrey Hepburn movie of the same name, and is sung from the perspective of a young man faced with a potential break-up with his girlfriend. Desperate to find common ground, the singer can only think of a vague memory that they both like the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's", and argues that the tenuous link between the lovers should serve as enough motivation for them to work out their problems and stay together as a couple.

The film "Roman Holiday" inspired the lyrics of the song but the author, Todd David Pipes, thought that one of Hepburn's other films would make a better song title. [British Hit Singles & Albums (Edition 18), Guinness World Records Limited]

The music video also sports some visual reference to the title itself as it features the band members arriving to a breakfast table and being served by butlers, beside the curb in front of Tiffany's in New York City.

In 1996, the song reached number five in the United States and number one in the United Kingdom.
