Taio Cruz – Break Your Heart ft. Ludacris (Music Video Review)

It is said that to make a relationship work, a couple has to be honest with each other. It doesn’t get much more honest than Taio Cruz’s new single “Break Your Heart,” in which he tells the women of the world that they shouldn’t get too attached to him because they will just be wasting their time.

Cruz apparently subscribes to the philosophy that “honesty is the best policy,” even if that policy includes announcing that you are a pompous male slut who will most likely cheat on any woman.

He meets his match at the start of the video, when he is conversing with a smokin’ brunette wearing a leather jacket and a bikini top while sitting in a convertible Austin Martin. To two make a bet stating that they will each hurt each other. Sounds like a great icebreaker for a first date. The two then head off for their day of high-speed boating and partying on a yacht (The Orgy Boat).

Ludacris, who is featured on the track, introduces the world to Taio Cruz — a British music producer who has worked with Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake (separately) — by rapping how there’s not “anybody as bomb” as Luda, and that he and Cruz share the ability to make girls crumble.

Cruz goes on to sing, “There’s no point trying to hide it / No point trying to evade it / I know I got a problem / By doing this behaving.” Just like any addiction, the hardest part is acknowledging you indeed have a problem.” Cruz not only acknowledges it, he goes on for three minutes about his heartbreaking ways. He evens sings “karma’s gonna get me back for being so cold.”

A huge hit already in the U.K., a BBC music reviewer wrote that “Taio Cruz has done it … He has done the unthinkable. The unimaginable. The unbelievable. He has officially created the Most Arrogant Song of 2009, despite the HUGE competition.” Even with this statement, the reviewer still gave the song 4/5 stars.

Cruz spoke about the song in the media outlet Blues & Soul saying, “It’s about breaking a girl’s heart, but in a way that’s kinda not on purpose. It’s more that I’m just a single guy, trying to BE single and trying to REMAIN single. And sometimes, when you are in that place, you get girls who wanna be a part of what you’re about. But, because you’re not really ready for a relationship, those girls can end up being heartbroken.”

If Cruz ever decides to get married, he should make sure to add his lyrics to “Break Your Heart” to the prenuptial agreement.
