"Breaking" was the second single from Anberlin's New Surrender, and it spent months waiting in the wings. It was slated for January 2009, then February 16, then pushed back again and again because "Feel Good Drag" simply wouldn't stop getting played. It finally hit radio on June 29, 2009, and climbed to number 23 on the Alternative Songs chart and 37 on Rock Songs.
Neal Avron produced, recorded and mixed it, giving the band the kind of big, glossy alt-rock sheen that fills a room. Stephen Christian wrote the words and shares the music with Joseph Milligan and Butch Walker, with Christian McAlhaney, Deon Rexroat and Nathan Young also credited as writers.
