"Break It Down Again" is a song by the British band Tears for Fears, released as the first single from their 1993 album "Elemental". The song was an international hit, reaching the top 40 in several countries, and also reached #1 on the US "Billboard" Modern Rock Tracks chart.

The song was also the second single released after the departure of Curt Smith (after "Laid So Low (Tears Roll Down)" in 1992), since he had split from Orzabal in 1991. As with the "Elemental" album, the song featured Roland Orzabal with peripheral Tears for Fears band members Alan Grffiths and Gail Ann Dorsey.
