Bringin' On the Heartbreak
"Bringin' On the Heartbreak" is a ballad originally recorded by British hard rock band Def Leppard. It was the second single from their 1981 album ''High 'n' Dry''. The song was written by three of the band's members: Steve Clark, Pete Willis, and Joe Elliott. In 2002, it was covered by American R&B/pop singer Mariah Carey for her album ''Charmbracelet''. Many reviews of the R&B cover were positive, as was the reaction from Def Leppard's Joe Elliott.〔Patterson, Spencer. ("Leppard's spots" ).

==Def Leppard versions==
Def Leppard recorded the song for their second album, ''High 'n' Dry''. Its working title had been "A Certain Heartache," and the track (along with the others on the album) was produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange. Lange said he thought the band was intending to make the song's verse "jangley" and "a kind of 'Stairway to Heaven' thing; Steve () likes that long wrangled guitar jangle." Cliff Burnstein, the manager of Def Leppard and an A&R representative for Mercury Records, later said that Peter Willis was embarrassed to play the song for him because it was a ballad. Burnstein originally thought it only had potential to be a hit single if it was recorded by an artist such as Bonnie Tyler.
''High 'n' Dry'' was released in the U.S. in summer 1981. "Bringin' On the Heartbreak" was commercially released in the U.S. on 13 November, with "Me and My Wine" (a non-album track) and "You Got Me Runnin'" included as B-sides. It did not appear on the U.S. charts, but its music video was picked up by the recently launched television channel MTV and received heavy rotation.〔Daniel Bukszpan, Ronnie James Dio (2003) (The Encyclopedia of Heavy Metal )〕 The popularity of the video and the exposure the band received caused a resurgence in sales of ''High 'n' Dry'', which subsequently sold over two million copies. It was released in Mexico as "Llevarlo en la Desilusión" with "Yo y mi Vino" ("Me and My Wine") featuring the cover art from the single of "Too Late for Love".
''High 'n' Dry'' was re-issued in May 1984 with two new tracks, one of which was a synthesizer-heavy remix of "Bringin' On the Heartbreak". Featuring Phil Collen on guitar, the remix was released as a single with a newly filmed video and peaked at 61 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The original version of the song was later included on three of their compilation albums: ''Vault: Def Leppard Greatest Hits (1980–1995)'' (1995) ''Best of Def Leppard'' (2004) and ''Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection'' (2005). The latter compilation ends with the instrumental "Switch 625," as it does in ''High 'n' Dry''. Steve Huey of Allmusic has characterised the song as an "unabashedly dramatic rock ballad."
