"Heartbroken" is a song by British record producer T2, released as his debut single. It was written by British singer Jodie Aysha, who also provides the vocals. The song spent three weeks at number two on the UK Singles Chart, behind Leona Lewis's "Bleeding Love". As of 2013, "Heartbroken" was the most requested song ever on BBC Radio 1.
The song was later rewritten to support boxer Ricky Hatton in his match against Floyd Mayweather. It was also sampled by DJ Khaled and Drake on their 2017 song "To the Max", and Digga D and ArrDee on their 2021 song "Wasted".
Background Jodie Aysha wrote the lyrics to "Heartbroken" in 2004, aged 14, inspired by her sister's break-up with her boyfriend. After meeting T2 later that year, Aysha recorded the vocals for "Heartbroken" at his apartment in Leeds and In 2006, he remixed them in the style of bassline, a genre similar to UK garage which was popular in Yorkshire at the time.
Despite winning a lawsuit over unpaid royalties, Aysha told the Metro in 2026 that she was still owed £100,000.
Music video The music video features cameos by footballers Micah Richards, who picks T2 up from his house in a Range Rover, and Anton Ferdinand, who hangs out with Richards in a bar.
