“Break 4 Love” is a song written, produced and recorded by house-music group Raze. The song, the group’s only significant U.S. hit, featured vocals by Keith Thompson. The single peaked at number 28 in the UK Singles Chart and it topped the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1988. It is still considered a classic of the early house music genre.

The song has been remixed, re-recorded and reissued on several different independent dance music labels, the most significant of which, “All 4 Love (Break 4 Love 1990)”, climbed to number 30 in the UK in early 1990.

The song can be heard in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, on the in-game radio station SF-UR, which also features other house music songs by different artists.

Sydney Youngblood‘s “If Only I Could” used the bassline and drumbeat from “Break 4 Love”, and reached number three on the UK Singles Chart.
