Release date: 1986
"Breakout" was written and performed while the group was still a trio. It was one of their biggest hits, and the song most closely associated with the act. In the US, the song remains a staple of adult contemporary and smooth jazz radio station playlists.
The video was inspired by Corinne Drewery's previous career. It features her as a fashion designer, designing and making her own dress, then modeling it. This song earned a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Group or Duo.

LYRICS
And breakout
When explanations make no sense
When every answer's wrong
You're fighting with lost confidence
All expectations gone
The time has come to make or break
Move on, don't hesitate
Breakout
Don't stop to ask
And now you've found a break to make at last
You've got to find a way
Say what you want to say
Breakout
When situations never change
Tomorrow looks unsure
Don't leave your destiny to chance
What are you waiting for
The time has come to make your break
Breakout
Don't stop to ask
And now you've found a break to make at last
You've got to find a way
Say what you want to say
Breakout
Don't stop to ask
Now you've found a break to make at last
You've got to find a way
Say what you want to say
Breakout
Some people stop at nothing
If you're searching for something
Lay down the law
Shout out for more
Breakout and shout
Day in day out
And breakout
Breakout
Don't stop to ask
And now you've found a break to make at last
You've got to find a way
Say what you want to say
And breakout
Don't stop to ask
And now you've found a break to make at last
You've got to find a way
Say what you want to say
And breakout...
(Don't) Lay down the law (stop)
Shout out for more (to ask)
Breakout and shout day in day out
Ooh, breakout
Breakout
Breakout
Lay down the law
Shout out for more
Breakout and shout day in day out
