Tears for Fears recently unveiled the new song "Break the Man" from their upcoming album, The Tipping Point.
The Tipping Point, the English pop rock band's first new album in 17 years, will be released on February 25 via Concord Records.
Co-written by Curt Smith and Charlton Pettus, and co-produced by Smith, Roland Orzabal and Pettus, "Break the Man" embraces the theme of female empowerment.
"'Break the Man' is about a strong woman, and breaking the patriarchy," according to Tears for Fears founding member Curt Smith. "I feel that a lot of the problems we've been having as a country and even worldwide to a certain degree has come from male dominance."
"It's a song about a woman who is strong enough to break the man. For me, that would be an answer to a lot of the problems in the world — a better male-female balance," Smith explained in a statement.
"Break The Man" is the third single shared from the highly anticipated studio album.
