Background

In talking about their song, German DJ Topic and Swedish singer A7S revealed that it's the "sweet spot between a heartache and energetic beats".{{cite web|url=https://www1.wdr.de/radio/wdr2/musik/neu-auf-wdr2/neuvorstellung-musik-topic-a7s-breaking-me-102.html|title=Topic feat. A7S - Breaking Me|last=Joseph|first=Sascha|website=WDR|language=de|date=9 March 2020|accessdate=3 May 2020}} According to Topic, the song "is about a situation in a relationship with a certain dependency, in which one always gives a little more and "breaks" because of that". The song was written during songwriting sessions in Berlin and Miami over the course of two months.{{cite web|url=https://www.kissradio.ca/2020/04/29/topic-new-single-with-a7s-breaking-me/|title=Topic Drops Catchy Dance Anthem with A7S Called 'Breaking Me'|author=Kayla|website=Kiss Radio|date=29 April 2020|accessdate=3 May 2020}}

Critical reception

Rachel Kupfer of EDM described the song as "vaguely tropical house" which is made for "both dimly lit dance floors and pop-inspired festival sets". He also noted how much A7S's vocals "match a bouncy bass line and clubby synths".{{cite web|url=https://edm.com/music-releases/topic-breaking-me-a7s|title=Topic releases bouncy pop track "Breaking Me" ft. A7S|last=Kupfer|first=Rachel|website=EDM|date=8 January 2020|accessdate=3 May 2020}} Critics also cited the fact that despite A7S' anonymity, the song all the more benefits from the hook sung by the Swedish artist.{{cite web|url=https://www1.wdr.de/radio/1live/musik/neu-fuer-den-sektor/topic-asevens-breaking-me-100.html|title=Topic feat.
