House of Broken Love is a song by the American rock band Great White. Written by Jack Russell, Michael Lardie and Alan Niven, the song is the eighth track from the band's fourth album ...Twice Shy.
It peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and number 83 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[1]
Great White's lead singer Jack Russell stated in an interview with the BBC's The Friday Rock Show that the song is about being alone. He had recently gone through a divorce and was with bandmate Mark Kendall—who had also recently broken up—when the band's manager walked in and said, "What is this, the house of broken love?"[2]
Linda Romine, of the Record-Journal, called the song a "Great White staple".[3]
The band played the song at the American Music Awards of 1990.
