The standalone single 'Breakdown' arrived in early 2013, showcasing Tonight Alive's evolving sound with a heavier, more anthemic edge before their second album.
- 'Breakdown' was released as a standalone single on March 15, 2013, by SME Records. The track was produced by Mark Trombino, known for his work with Blink-182 and Jimmy Eat World. It featured a harder-hitting sound that hinted at the direction the band would take on future releases.
- The single was released during a period of extensive international touring for the band, supporting acts like Blink-182 and Paramore. It did not chart on the ARIA top 100 singles chart in Australia. This release was a bridge between their debut album 'What If?' and their sophomore effort 'The Other Side'.
- Fans noted the track's more aggressive guitar riffs and driving rhythm section compared to their earlier material. The single was accompanied by a music video featuring the band performing in a raw, industrial setting. It served as a preview of the sonic territory they would explore further in their subsequent studio albums.
