Kat Button Finds Beauty in Breaking Point on ‘Today I Broke’

Kat Button turns a deeply personal moment into something quietly powerful on her new single, ‘Today I Broke’.

Written while she was feeling broken, the track captures that point where emotions become too heavy to keep hidden. Rather than trying to tidy those feelings away, Kat allows the song to sit with them, creating an honest release that feels vulnerable without becoming overstated.

Interestingly, ‘Today I Broke’ was never originally intended to sound orchestral or cinematic. Its direction developed naturally through Kat’s connection with classical music, something she finds herself drawn towards during difficult moments. That influence gives the track a wider sense of scale, while still keeping its emotional core close and personal.

The clarinet is an especially meaningful part of the arrangement. Kat loved playing the instrument on the recording, and its presence adds another human touch to the song. It does not simply sit in the background, but helps carry the sadness and reflection running through the track.

‘Today I Broke’ is a song shaped by vulnerability, instinct and the comfort music can offer when words alone are not enough. Kat Button takes a moment of feeling broken and transforms it into an intimate, cinematic piece with real emotional weight.
