"Heartbreak Coverup" is a song recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter Jesse Labelle for his second studio album, Two (2012), featuring guest vocals by Alyssa Reid. It was released in Canada through Wax Records as the lead single from the album on April 10, 2012.[1] The song was written by Labelle and Reid along with Rob James, Dave Lichens, Luke McMaster, and Thomas "Tawgs" Salter.

It was the first song of Labelle's career to hold a position on a Billboard chart, debuting at #82 on the Canadian Hot 100.[3] "Heartbreak Coverup" earned Labelle the "Best New Group or Solo Artist" award in the genre of Hot AC at the 2012 Canadian Radio Music Awards.[4]

Composition

[edit]

"Heartbreak Coverup" is a midtempo, piano-driven pop rock ballad with a duration of three minutes and nineteen seconds. It is composed in the key of B major and is set to a tempo of 77 BPM.[5] Lyrically, the song describes a man drinking to dull or "cover up" the pain of his "heartbreak" and contemplating calling his ex, whom he can't seem to let go. Reid's vocal styling on the refrain contains influences of contemporary R&B.
