"Break It Down Again" is a song by English pop rock band Tears for Fears, released in May 1993 by Mercury Records as the first single from their fourth studio album, Elemental (1993).

As with the Elemental album, the song featured Roland Orzabal with peripheral Tears for Fears band members Alan Griffiths and Tim Palmer, plus backing vocals by ex-Graduate bandmate John Baker.

The CD single included two non-album B-sides, of which "Schrodinger's Cat", the first in a number of songs by Orzabal dealing with modern physics, has acquired a cult status.

It features Orzabal, Griffiths, and Gail Ann Dorsey (who joined Tears for Fears as a touring member) performing the song on the desert plains of El Mirage Lake, California, where the covers for the “Break It Down Again” single and the ‘‘Elemental’’ album were photographed.

Notably, the video does not include [Curt Smith], marking this as part of the period when Roland Orzabal led the band as its sole official member.
