"Broken" (stylized in all lowercase) is the debut single by the American indie pop band Lovelytheband, released exclusively to Billboard on April 13, 2017.[1][2] The song was later included on the band's debut album, Finding It Hard to Smile (2018).

"Broken" was the band's breakout hit, reaching number 29 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spending nine weeks at number one on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart. The song held the record for longest running entry on the latter chart, at 76 weeks, eclipsing the 65 week run of "Savior" by Rise Against, until it was passed by the chart run of "Monsters" by All Time Low.[3][4][5] In late 2023, Billboard ranked the song as the second most successful in the chart's history.[6][7]
