Songfacts®:

  • Eric Hutchinson wrote this song during his early days as a recording artist and originally put it on his 2003 live album, That Could've Gone Better. He told AOL Music that his fans started to ask for the track even though the CD's out of print now. "They started asking for it on tweets and emails ... and at shows, people would yell out for it," he said.

    So Hutchinson started thinking about it again and decided to re-record "Breakdown Again" for his 2012 Moving Up Living Down set. "I didn't even remember how to play the song," he admitted, "but I went and relearned it and made a few tweaks, and had a chance to fall back in love with it again. I put it on the album, and it was really fun to do a full production on it - the producer Mike Elizondo did a great job. Time stopped for me a little bit while I was singing it - that's a cool feeling."
