What Parents Need to Know

About `Break Anotha` (CD Single)

Parents need to know that this song is a warning to a girl about a "playa" who's going to break her heart. So not surprisingly, there are some vague sexual innuendos in this first single from the upcoming Audio Day Dream, Lewis' first studio album post American Idol.

    I absolutely love this song!!! I love the beat plus its unique, because Blake does some beat-boxing. This is a great hit that everyone should listen to!

    Good first from Blake.

    Good, reminiscent of Maroon 5. If you like Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, and the like, you'll LOVE this song! At first when you listen to it, it seems a little "eh, ok" but it grows on you.
