Heartbreaker (Pat Benatar song)

Common card · No. 311416

"Heartbreaker" is a rock and roll song written by Geoff Gill and Cliff Wade, and first recorded by English singer Jenny Darren on her 1978 album Queen of Fools. American vocalist Pat Benatar recorded the song in 1979 for her her debut studio album In the Heat of the Night, with a few minor changes to the lyrics aiming for American rather than UK listeners. "Heartbreaker" was the second single from Benatar's album after the first, "If You Think You Know How to Love Me", was a commercial disappointment. "Heartbreaker" proved to be Benatar's breakthrough single, reaching number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 while spending four and a half months on the chart, the fourth longest of all of her singles. It was more popular on album-oriented rock stations as it peaked at number 13 on Tunecasters Rock Tracks chart in March 1980. The song reached number 16 in Canada, number 14 in New Zealand, and number 95 in Australia. VH1 ranked the song the 72nd best hard rock song of all time.
