While Broken Hearts Prevail is an EP by rock band Emery that was released on October 28, 2008.{{cite web |url=http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/news/2008/08/20.EMERY%20EXPLORE%20WHILE%20BROKEN%20HEARTS%20PREVAIL%20WITH%20NEW%20EP.asp |title=Emery Explore While Broken Hearts Prevail |accessdate=December 7, 2008 |publisher=Jesus Freak Hideout |date=August 20, 2008 |archive-date=February 21, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140221234428/http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/news/2008/08/20.EMERY%20EXPLORE%20WHILE%20BROKEN%20HEARTS%20PREVAIL%20WITH%20NEW%20EP.asp |url-status=live }}. Musically the album returns to heavier sound found on Emery's debut album The Weak's End instead of the alternative sound on the band's previous release I'm Only a Man.
"The Smile, the Face" and "Edge of the World" would later appear on ...In Shallow Seas We Sail. "Always Depends" is a re-recording of a track from the band's debut EP The Columbus EEP Thee.
