"Don't Break My Heart" is a song by British reggae band UB40 from their sixth album Baggariddim.

A remixed version was released as a single in October 1985 and peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart, making it their highest charting original song.

[3] However, in 1992, Deborah Banks, a secretary in Birmingham, took legal action again UB40 and the music publishers, claiming she had written the majority of the lyrics for "Don't Break My Heart".

The case went to the High Court in 1995 presided by judge Jeremiah Harman.

[10][11] Following the verdict, subsequent albums released with "Don't Break My Heart" co-credited Banks and UB40 as writing the lyrics.
