Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis released their debut album, Jam & Lewis, Vol. 1, on July 9, 2021. The album includes a collaboration with Mariah on the song “Somewhat Loved (There You Go Breakin' My Heart).” “When we started Jam & Lewis, Vol. 1, we put a wish-list together of all our favorite artists,” they said of the new single. “The chance to reunite with our friend and fellow Songwriters Hall of Fame partner Mariah was wish list fulfillment at its finest.”
“Working with Jimmy & Terry through the years has been one of the greatest creative journeys I've ever taken,” Mariah in a press release. “It's a great honor for me to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime album!” Released as the album's third single on June 10, 2021, “Somewhat Loved (There You Go Breakin' My Heart)” peaked at number nine on the Billboard Adult R&B Songs chart.
We stood there alone in that silent corridor
Those unspoken words conjure fixation capturing me
Fell helplessly to bliss
Just like fall things started to switch
And now spring's everything that I miss
Somewhat loved
The more I thought about about you
Was the less I thought about me
And I lost myself in this dream
Somewhat loved
There you go breakin' my heart, breakin' my heart
Breakin' my heart again
No such thing as lovers and friends
There you go breakin' my heart, breakin' my heart
Breakin' my heart again
You only live to break my heart again
Spun out of control in this faithless world I must own
Angel turned his back and where wings once were they were no longer intact
Fell helplessly to bliss
Just like fall things started to switch
And now spring's everything that I miss
Somewhat loved
The more I thought about about you
Was the less I thought about me
And I lost myself in this dream
Somewhat loved
(Only somewhat, there you go)
There you go breakin' my heart, breakin' my heart
Breakin' my heart again
(Why you got to go away?)
No such thing as lovers and friends
There you go breakin' my heart, breakin' my heart
Breakin' my heart again
You only live to break my heart again
There you go
There you go
Should've let it go
Baby
Stay with me
You go breakin' my heart, breakin' my heart
Breakin' my heart again
There ain't no such thing as lovers and friends
There you go breakin' my heart, breakin' my heart
(I think you do it baby)
Breakin' my heart again
You only live to break my heart again
Breakin' my heart, breakin' my heart
(You're making me go thru things that I never went thru before)
Breakin' my heart again
(Oh baby you're breakin')
Breakin' my heart, breakin' my heart
Breakin' my heart again
Breakin' my heart, breakin' my heart
Breakin' my heart again
