The Script: 'Breakeven'

Irish trio The Script cracked the top 20 in May with the cheerily-titled 'We Cry', but it wasn't until second single 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved' became a radio favourite that they made the big league, with their debut album zooming straight to the top of the charts. Now they're back with single number three - and a pattern seems to be emerging.

'Breakeven' chronicles a relationship that's "falling to pieces", with one party coping a lot better with the split than the other. "What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK?" sings frontman Danny O'Donoghue. Though his voice does convey a degree of raw emotion, this lacks any sort of originality, making it easy to dismiss as just another middle of the road pop-rock song.
