"Breakin' Away" is a song by British singer Kim Wilde, released in September 1995 as the first single from her ninth album, Now & Forever (1995).

Under the production guidance of brother Ricki Wilde and the ever-fab Serious Rope, she is the picture of sweet, girlish charm, gleefully romping through the track's plush retro-disco arrangement.

"[1] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote that "this fast-moving dance track introduces us to an up-to-date Kim Wilde.

"[2] A reviewer from Music Week noted, "Anyone else on vocals and this marshmallow pop could pass unnoticed, but the massive past success of Wilde should see her getting a chart slot.

"[3] James Hamilton from the RM Dance Update deemed it as a "breezily harmonized romping chunky strider – sorta Madonna meets Manhattan Transfer".
