"Breakaway" is a cover of American R&B singer Chuck Jackson's song "I Can't Break Away" by Australian band Big Pig. It was originally released in November 1987 in the United Kingdom. Outside the UK, it was released in February 1988 as the third single from their debut album Bonk. The song, written by Mitchell Bottler and Gary Zekley, is about freedom and fighting against destiny. Like many other Big Pig songs, "Breakaway" features plentiful drums and percussion but no guitars. The song became the band's most successful single, reaching number one in New Zealand in May 1988. It also peaked at number eight in their native Australia and managed to chart in North America, reaching number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 10 on Canada's RPM Top Singles chart. Its earlier UK release saw the song peak at number 89 on the UK Singles Chart.

Whenever I hear this song I am reminded that we should all "Be excellent to each other"

Always ✌️

The Bill and Ted movie wouldn't be the same without it. It has to start with this song. It sets the whole stage for the movie. It's a brilliant ear catching tune.

I am sitting on my balcony in Southport and somewhere someone is playing this, drifting with the wind into my ears. I haven’t thought of Big Pig in 30 years.

This is so good…such a great message…pulsing rhythms….powerful singing…how is this not more popular? So underrated. I love everything about this song. Masterpiece.

Peaked as high as No. 60 on the USA Billboard Hot 100 Charts in 1988. Should’ve been a much bigger hit.

Saw them live in Sydney. Those were the days! So much going on - every pub had a band room (no pokies in pubs then)

[MarvoloSalazar]
