With over half a billion streams to his name, breakout pop sensation Alexander Stewart has dropped his new single broken by you, the first release from his forthcoming album due out later this year. Co-written by Alexander with The Nocturns, Corey Sanders and Nolan Sipe, the brazen, cinematic new single marks the beginning of a new chapter for Stewart as he learns to navigate an inevitable heartbreak.

broken by you was written in the depths of me trying to find a silver lining in a heartbreak that I knew was already coming,” Stewart says. “Sometimes you reach a point in a relationship when you’ve done all that you can to fight for the other person, and realising that can feel just as freeing as it does heartbreaking. I can’t wait to play this song live, along with the many more that are to come. This is just the beginning!”

Directed by Nick and Pat Demarais, the broken by you music video follows Alexander through a dream-like sequence surrounded by an array of mirrors. Throughout the video, the mirrors become symbolic of the singer’s introspection and self-discovery, and ultimately allow him a moment to unleash his hurt and heartbreak. Check out the video below:

Last week, Alexander announced the North American leg of The Bleeding Hearts Tour, which kicks off on 7th May in Houston and spans 19 cities including New York, Los Angeles and his hometown of Toronto. Previously, Alexander has toured with artists including Charlie Puth, Benson Boone, Eric Nam and for his international headlining Blame’s On Me Tour, performing in front of his rapidly growing fan base that has expanded to over 500 million global streams, 300 million views on YouTube, and 130 million likes on TikTok broken by you follows Alexander’s latest EP if you only knew, which was released last December.
