"Break Every Rule" is a song by recording artist Tina Turner. It was the title track to both Turner's 1986 album of the same name and the name of her 1987–88 world tour. It was released as a single in April 1987 to support the album and the tour. The song found limited success on the US and UK singles charts, although reached as far as #21 on the Austrian Top 40 Charts. The music video shows Turner performing on stage as well as behind-the-scenes footage of Turner and her band from the tour. The song was written by British composer and singer Rupert Hine and his then girlfriend Jeanette Obstoj, who had previously composed "I Might Have Been Queen" which was featured on Turner's Private Dancer album. The "Break Every Rule" 12" single included both an Extended Dance Mix and an Extended Rock Mix.
The official music video for the song was directed by Andy Morahan.[2]
