Track Description
Available in:
"Broken-Hearted Girl" is a song recorded by the American singer Beyoncé Knowles for her 2008 double album I Am... Sasha Fierce. Written by Knowles, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, and the production duo Stargate, it was initially a classic rhythm and blues song until Babyface changed the arrangement and chords. The track appears on the I Am... disc, the songs on which give a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Knowles' life stripped of her make-up and celebrity trappings. It is a midtempo pop ballad accompanied by piano, strings, and drums. The lyrics describe heartache and the insecurities of love.

The song was initially announced as the sixth single from I Am... Sasha Fierce in the United States and the fourth elsewhere, but was replaced with "Sweet Dreams". Columbia Records released "Broken-Hearted Girl" outside the US on August 28, 2009. Critics praised Knowles' emotional vocals on the track but had divided opinions on the production. The single reached the top twenty on the singles charts of Australia, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Germany, and Ireland. Sophie Muller directed a monochrome music video in which Knowles' character reminisces about her relationship on a beach in Malibu, California. Knowles performed "Broken-Hearted Girl" on the I Am... World Tour (2009–10).

The music video for "Broken-Hearted Girl" was directed by Sophie Muller. It was released on the remix and video album Above and Beyoncé – Video Collection & Dance Mixes on June 16, 2009, and through iTunes Stores on November 20, 2009. Most of it had been filmed in black-and-white on a beach in Malibu, California, in late February 2009. The protagonist (Beyoncé) reminisces on an isolated beach about a relationship that went wrong. The video begins as the protagonist parks her car and cries following an argument she has had with her lover. She then leaves the car, walks towards the sea, and lets down her hair. Flashbacks of the woman and her lover on the beach are shown. With teary eyes, she heads into the sea as waves break the shore. Back in the car, she imagines her lover holding her hands. The video transitions into color, as Beyoncé's character appears on the beach in a green dress and holds a rose without its petals, which she later restores. The video then flashes back to black-and-white memories of the woman resting her head on her lover's shoulder. She eventually realizes that she must set her relationship back on the right track. In the end, she drives off with a smile.
