"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, the song is about Swift's perseverance and professionalism while going through personal hardships during the early days of the Eras Tour. Musically, "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart" is characterized by its upbeat, electropop and dance-pop production, incorporating house and bubblegum beats, and salient synth arpeggios.
