The song is about a relationship made of love, lust, and regret, one pushed to the brink of falling apart by selfishness on the man’s part, and the looming question of, “did he take it too far this time – is it over?” The two stars exhibit immediate chemistry and use it to best advantage in both the hook-laden song and the unbearably steamy, visually powerful, and thought-provoking video.
This single, produced by Tha Aristocrats and recorded in LA is another step forward in Cierra’s trajectory in establishing herself as a dynamic force in music, a merchandising powerhouse like no other, and a smokin’ hotty for the ages.
Cierra says of the song and video: “It’s been an amazing experience for both of my worlds to collide. Trevor & I, both being on Freeform TV shows and being signed to the same label, EMPIRE, seemed like the perfect fit for a collab and I couldn’t be happier. He’s so talented and he brings so much to “Broke Us.”
Trevor added, “Cierra asked me to be a part of the record while I was finishing up my album, Rough Drafts Pt. 2 and what I liked most about it was that it wasn’t your traditional pop break-up song. It has a certain amount of honesty and pain that I know will touch the listeners!”
