"I Can Do It with a Broken Heart" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department (2024). Written and produced by Swift and Jack Antonoff, "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart" is about Swift's perseverance and professionalism while going through personal hardships during the early days of the Eras Tour. Its music contrasts the lyrics, characterized by an upbeat electropop, dance-pop, and new wave production, incorporating house and bubblegum beats, and salient synth arpeggios.
Upon release of the album, critics considered the song a standout due to its sanguine sound, unlike the generally moody atmosphere of the rest of the album. Swift included the song as a regular on the revamped setlist of the Eras Tour in 2024. "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart" was released as the second single from The Tortured Poets Department on July 2, 2024. The song's accompanying music video is a compilation of footage from the Eras Tour and its rehearsals.
Commercially, "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart" peaked at number five on the Billboard Global 200 chart and placed within the top 10 in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It received certifications in Australia, New Zealand, Portugal and the United Kingdom.
