Well, it's certainly not cuffing season for everyone. Like many of us, Audrey MiKa is going through it.  "Fake Heartbreak" marks the singer's first release since signing with RCA and arrives as a passionate R&B ballad that is nothing short of stunning.  

With its heavy bass focus and MiKa's brooding register, the song has a gorgeous bluesy vibe. As she sings about losing her way and needing to move on, it becomes apparent that MiKa's thoughts are killing her and she needs a way out. Mika spoke further on  "Fake Heartbreak," sharing,

“This song explains that you’re not alone when it comes to heartbreak and that everyone goes through it. Being vulnerable isn’t a bad thing, and 'Fake Heartbreak' is here to tell you that it’s gonna be ok.”

The video, directed by Richard Valencia, is a dramatic depiction of a girl in pain. In dimly lit rooms with foggy silhouettes, MiKa roams around with a dejected aura. She laments singing, "These feelings won't catch the fade away / I need them to fade away / Yeah, this fake heartbreak." Quick cuts between her lighting her ex's clothes ablaze and attending "The Heartbreak Support Group" give us a look inside MiKa's slippery descent into beautiful despair.  If cuffing season seems to have backfired on you too, MiKa's "Fake Heartbreak" is your anthem.
