"Where Do Broken Hearts Go" is the fourth single from Whitney Houston's second album, Whitney. The ballad was released in February 1988. The song was written by Frank Wildhorn and Chuck Jackson and produced by Narada Michael Walden. Wildhorn approached Jackson about the opportunity to write for Whitney Houston. He gave him the title, and Wildhorn completed the music and lyrics for the song.
Initially, Houston did not want to record the song, feeling there was no special message to convey. However, Arista Records CEO Clive Davis believed the song would go to number one if she recorded it, so she agreed. It indeed became a number one, Houston's seventh consecutive one in the United States.
Allmusic's Ron Wynn highlighted this track. Robert Hilburn described this song as a ballad "that raises questions without making you care about the answers."
Four is the fourth studio album by English-Irish boy band One Direction, released on 17 November 2014 by Columbia Records and Syco Music. Two singles were released from the album, "Steal My Girl" and "Night Changes", both achieving platinum status in the US, and scoring the band their tenth and eleventh UK top-ten hits.
The album received generally positive reviews from music critics. It debuted at number one in 18 countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States. The album was also One Direction's last with member Zayn Malik, who announced he was leaving the band on 25 March 2015. In August 2015, Four became the band's fourth consecutive album to sell in excess of 1 million copies in the United States. The band became the first band to have their first four albums debut at number one in the United States.
On 27 April 2014, it was confirmed that One Direction were working on their fourth studio album. Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne worked on the majority of the album with songwriters Julian Bunetta, John Ryan, and Jamie Scott, but members Harry Styles and Zayn Malik also co-wrote tracks with Bunetta, Ryan, Scott and producer Johan Carlson. Niall Horan, the fifth member of One Direction, was unable to be involved in writing due to a leg injury.
"Where Do Broken Hearts Go" may refer to:
I know it's been some time
but there's something on my mind
You see
I haven't been the same since that cold November day.
We said we needed space
but all we found was an empty place
And the only things I learned is that I need you desperately.
So here I am and can you please tell me:
Where do broken hearts go
can they find their way home
Back to the open arms of a love that's waiting there?
And if somebody loves you
won't they always love you?
I look in your eyes and I know that you still care for me.
I've been around enough to know that dreams don't turn to gold
And that there is no easy way
no
you just can't run away.
And what we had was so much more than we ever had before
And no matter how I try
I can't get you off my mind.
So here I am
and can you please tell me:
Where do broken hearts go
can they find their way home
Back to the open arms of a love that's waiting there?
And if somebody loves you
won't they always love you?
I look in your eyes and I know that you still care for me.
And now that I am here with you I'll never let you go
I look into your eyes
and now I know
now I know:
Where do broken hearts go
can they find their way home
Back to the open arms of a love that's waiting there?
And if somebody loves you
won't they always love you?
I look in your eyes and I know that you still care for me.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
