What a chilled-out tune this is! British reggae band, UB40, released one studio album per year during the 80s (apart from 1987), and Don't Break My Heart featured on their sixth studio album Baggariddim. Featuring a sophisticated, laid-back groove, the song was the second and last single to be lifted from the album and reached #3 in the UK.
The original version of this track was actually an instrumental entitled Labour Of Love theme and was the B-side to the previous single I Got You Babe - a collaboration with the Pretenders vocalist Chrissie Hynde - which reached #1 in the British singles chart.
Baggariddim wasn't a totally fresh UB40 album as the first ten tracks were reinvented versions of songs from the previous two albums, Labour Of Love and Geffery Morgan. The album reached #14 in the UK album charts, but unlike the previous two albums it did not chart in the U.S.
