Where Do Broken Hearts Go

"Where Do Broken Hearts Go" is a song by American singer and actress Whitney Houston from her second studio album, Whitney (1987). Written by Frank Wildhorn and Chuck Jackson, and produced by Narada Michael Walden, Arista Records released it as the album's fourth single on February 15, 1988. Houston initially refused to record the song due to a lack of a message but eventually changed her mind once Arista president Clive Davis convinced her it would be a success for her. A pop and soul ballad, the song is performed by a woman who reflects on a past relationship following a painful breakup and is convinced of the former couple reuniting in the distant future.
