Description
Originally described as combining eastern melodies with RATM-style riffs on top of a RnB drum beat.
Break It To Me (Sam de Jong Remix)
Even being a remix, the song is included as an official Muse track, in the Super Deluxe version. It has it own lyric video, you can watch it here.
Additional information
The Qmagazine made a preview of Simulation Theory on 23th October, and they said this about the song: "Break It To Me melds Rage Against The Machine's clang with Missy Elliott-style beats."
This song, alongside other yet unreleased songs, was leaked in a series of short 20 second video clips showing the vinyl player. A full version was leaked a day later, on 7th of November.
A video of Dom recording percussion was posted by Bellamy in May of 2018, but after a while it got deleted.
This is the first Muse song that provides studio backing vocals by Dominic Howard.
Recording
Similar to Something Human, the basis of the song was recorded using organic instruments, including guitar, bass and tribal percussion, which was processed to make it sound a bit more electronic. According to Howard, if they opted for the standard acoustic drum kit, it would make the song sound a lot like a classic Rage Against the Machine track.
During the process of recording, the band also added some synth elements.
The song is played in open B tuning and was likely recorded on a 7 string guitar and a 5 string bass.

Lyrics
(Break it to me) (Break it to me) (Break it to me)
Don't dress it up Don't beat around the bush and don't Cover it up but don't push it underground and don't Keep it inside and don't Edit and redact and no Dumbing it down Don't fake it Just,
(Break it to me) (Break it to me) (Break it to me)
I can handle the truth I can cope with whatever you're holding back No need to sugar coat Just,
(Break it to me) (Break it to me) (Break it to me)
I know how to mend I can rise high above the ashes I'll re-invent I will re-emerge Reborn
(Break it to me) (Break it to me)
Don't dress it up Don't beat around the bush and don't Cover it up but don't push it underground and don't Keep it inside and don't Edit and redact and no Dumbing it down Don't fake it Just,
(Break it to me) (Just break it to me)
I know how to mend I can rise high above the ashes I'll re-invent I will re-emerge Reborn
(Break it to me) (Break it to me) (Break it to me)
(Break it to me) (Break it to me) (Break it to me)
