Kat Velasco is back with her new single, “Breaking My Own Heart,” a song that explores the delicate nature of love and the inner struggles we face. It dives deep into what it feels like to be on edge in a relationship, always worrying that things might fall apart. The song highlights how insecurities can weigh us down. Velasco expresses the tough mix of loving someone while also fearing that you might lose them. Instead of sugarcoating heartbreak, the lyrics reveal the conflict between trust and worry, and the pull of wanting to keep someone close while also being scared to get hurt.
It speaks to the common yet deeply personal experience of messing up something good before it can break on its own. What makes “Breaking My Own Heart” truly relatable is its honesty. Velasco shares the self-doubt, the feelings of unworthiness, and how these thoughts can affect even the closest relationships. Her singing feels less like a performance and more like a close friend sharing a secret in a quiet moment. The music itself reflects the feelings in the song. The sad undertones echo the heaviness of doubt, while changes in rhythm mimic the uncertainty of whether to trust someone or pull away.
With this release, Kat Velasco continues to create music that addresses the quiet struggles many of us deal with in private. “Breaking My Own Heart” is about recognizing and giving a voice to the emotions we often keep to ourselves, ultimately finding a sense of comfort in doing so. For anyone who has ever doubted themselves in love or felt that nagging worry threatening to ruin something good, Velasco’s new single offers a reminder that you’re not alone in this battle. Vulnerability can be scary, but in “Breaking My Own Heart,” it becomes something truly beautiful.
