"When I Start To (Break It All Down)" is a song by English synth-pop duo Erasure, released in 2011 as the lead single from their fourteenth studio album Tomorrow's World.

[4] "You've Got to Save Me Right Now" was originally due to be the first single from Tomorrow's World until "When I Start To (Break It All Down)" replaced it at short notice.

"[4] Prior to its release as a single on 23 September 2011,[5] the song received its first play on BBC Radio 2 on 15 August.

[1] The B-side "Tomorrow's World" is an instrumental track, exclusive to the single and written by Richard Denton and Martin Cook.

[9] In a review of Tomorrow's World, David Jeffries of AllMusic commented, "Fans get to experience Vince Clarke's fingerprints on 'Fill Us with Fire' and 'When I Start To (Break It All Down),' as the recent reunion of his Yaz project is reflected in the nocturnal synth pop and soul muscle driving these highlights.
