10th Anniversary for the one from my personal all-time favourites.

 

Nice reason to remember this very underrated single.

"I Can't Break Down" is a song written by Sinead Quinn, Pete Glenister and Deni Lew and produced by Glenister and Lew for Quinn's debut album, Ready to Run. It was released as her debut single from the album in March 2003 and reached a peak position of number two in the UK Singles Chart, losing out on a number-one single to t.A.T.u.'s "All the Things She Said" :angry: . The single release sold around 70,000 copies, finishing in 65th place for the best selling UK singles of 2003.

 

Quinn finished as the runner-up in the first series of Fame Academy behind David Sneddon. She signed a record deal with Mercury Records a week after the final and revealed that she would release her debut single on 10 February 2003. Sneddon had a number one single with "Stop Living the Lie in January 2003.

 

The song was written by Quinn during her time on Fame Academy. Fame Academy differed from the similar Pop Idol in that the contestants were able to develop their all-round musical talents and write original material during their time on the show. In an interview with the BBC she revealed how her experience on Fame Academy had changed her music style for this song. She said "Before I went in, I wouldn't have been into commercial stuff...my tunes might not have been so radio-friendly, but I'm working on it. I wouldn't have got that much of a hook into my songs. I think the hook is very important."

 

Maybe only Anmary - "Beautiful Song" is better for me, than this wonderful single.

I preferred Ainsley Henderson - Keep Me A Secret is such a perfect pop song.
