Ronson and Cyrus reportedly wrote the track in May 2018, posting on social media that they were working together in the studio.[4] In June 2018, Ronson said that the song was "coming soon".[5] While it had been rumoured beforehand, the song title was later confirmed on the BBC's website listing for The Graham Norton Show.[6] The single was announced on 25 November 2018 via Ronson's social media.[7] The following day, Cyrus announced the single, ending her four-month hiatus from social media.[8]

In the United States, "Nothing Breaks Like a Heart" debuted at number 67 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Cyrus' 46th and Ronson's third entry on the chart, and later peaked at number 43.[13] In the United Kingdom, the single debuted at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart, making it Cyrus' fourth and Ronson's sixth top 10 song on the chart. The song eventually peaked at number two in January 2019.[14]
