The third single from Hunter Hayes' eponymous debut album was penned by the singer with Nashville songwriters Andrew Dorff (Martina McBride's "Ride," Lee Brice's "These Last Few Days") and Luke Laird (Carrie Underwood's "Temporary Home," Miranda Lambert's "Baggage Claim"). "It's one of those songs that speaks to where I am in life," Hunter told The Boot. "Hey, if you're gonna be somebody's heartache, be mine. It's a fun song, I love singing it. What's really cool is that it is musically representative of a lot of stuff I've been checking out lately."
Hayes explained the song's meaning to CBS News: "Some chances are worth taking. Knowing that the outcome far outweighs the risks, that's what 'Somebody's Heartbreak' is about," he said. "This could very well fail and that's fine, but if it's going to fail I might as well say that it failed trying because it's definitely worth trying."
The song's music video provides an insight into life on the road for Hunter Hayes. The clip was filmed at the Minneapolis venue of Carrie Underwood's Blown Away tour, which Hunter opened.
