"Breakout" is a song by Danish rock band Cryoshell, released as a stand-alone single on December 9, 2012. Written by Mikkel Maltha, the song was recorded in late 2011 and produced by Jacob Hansen. It is an alternative rock song that features elements of pop rock and symphonic pop.

The song features Danish vocalist Tine Midtgaard standing in for incumbent lead singer Christine Lorentzen while she took maternity leave. "Breakout" was essentially produced as a promotional score for the 2012 sets of the Lego toy series Hero Factory, a succession theme to Lego's Bionicle franchise that Cryoshell also produced scores for.

"Breakout" received positive reviews, with music critics labelling it "poppy and catchy" and "a brighter feel" in comparison to Cryoshell's previous work.
