Keith Urban is closing in on the top of the country charts with his last single, “Break On Me,” the second single from his upcoming album, Ripcord, and the follow-up to his recent No. 1 “John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16.”
The song, written by Ross Copperman and Jon Nite, is a feeling Keith can relate to from both sides.
“‘Break On Me’ is just one of those songs that I, the first time I heard it, it hit me in all the right ways, because having been in that place where I’ve needed someone to ‘break on,’ but also of course being someone who could be strong for somebody else,” says Keith. “I’d gotten the song and not long after that was when [my wife] Nic lost her dad, and I found myself living out that song.”
Keith will certainly have a place for this song and many other No. 1 hits when he hits the road on his Ripcord World Tour, featuring Brett Eldredge and Maren Morris, on June 2nd in Kansas City.
TIDBIT: If “Break On Me” hits the top of the chart, it will be Keith’s 20th No. 1 hit.

I’d gotten the song and not long after that was when [my wife] Nic lost her dad, and I found myself living out that song. Once we got it on the road and started playing live, I’d started getting a lot of stories back from people who loved the song for the exact same reasons.”
