Swing out Sister
Break Out


Breakout is a single from British pop act Swing Out Sister's debut album It's Better to Travel.


The single reached the number four position in the UK in 1986, and rose to number six pop and number one adult contemporary in the U.S. in 1987.

The song also resulted in a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group.

The single was written and performed while the group was still a trio.

It would become one of their biggest hits, and the song most closely associated with the act. In the U.S., "Breakout" remains a staple of adult contemporary and smooth jazz radio station playlists.

The music video for "Breakout" features lead singer Corinne Drewery as a fashion designer, with the assistance of the other two band members, who designs and makes her own dress, and later makes a successful debut modelling it.

Swing out Sister Break Out Lyrics

When explanations make no sense
When every answer's wrong
You're fighting with lost confidence
All expectations come

The time has come to make or break
Move on don't hesitate
Breakout

Don't stop to ask
Now you've found a break to make at last
You've got to find a way
Say what you want to say
Breakout

When situations never change
Tomorrow looks unsure
Don't leave your destiny to chance
What are you waiting for
The time has come to make your break
Breakout

Don't stop to ask
Now you've found a break to make at last
You've got to find a way
Say what you want to say
Breakout

Don't stop to ask
Now you've found a break to make at last
You've got to find a way
Say what you want to say
Breakout

Some people stop at nothing
If you're searching for something
Lay down the law
Shout out for more
Breakout and shout day in day out
Breakout

Breakout

Don't stop to ask
Now you've found a break to make at last
You've got to find a way
Say what you want to say
Breakout

Don't stop to ask
Now you've found a break to make at last
You've got to find a way
Say what you want to say
Breakout

Lay down the law
Shout out for more
Breakout and shout day in day out

Breakout

Breakout

Breakout

Lay down the law
Shout out for more
Breakout and shout day in day out
