"Here's to the Heartache" is a song by American rock band Nothing More. It was their fourth single off their album Nothing More. It peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart in February 2016.
The song was first released as a single on October 13, 2015.[1] A music video was released a month later.[2] The video was directed by Josh Sobel, with help from cinematographer Alex Bergman, who the band had previously worked with on the prior single "Jenny".[3] It features black and white footage of the band performing the song, intermixed with footage of a female figure, representing situations covered in the song's lyrics.[4]
Lyrically, the song is about celebrating the hardships the band had experienced up to the point of recording their self-titled album.[5] The song is about the concept of coming out stronger after enduring personal struggles such as ended romantic relationships.[6] Hawkin's stated that the lyrics were inspired by the Steve Maraboli quote of "As I look back on my life, I realize that every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better."[6] He also explained that it was inspired more directly by the band member's past experiences as well:
Loudwire described the song as a "chugging rocker".[7]
