"Broken Bones" is the debut title of a song recorded by Canadian eurodance group Love Inc.. It was released in November 1997 as the leadoff single from the album Love Inc. and as a cut on the Club Cutz 3 compilation released by RCA Records in the United States. The song lyrics dealt with a person, who despite being a victim of prejudice from others, succeeding in making their dreams come true. The lyrics also allow the possibility that the prejudice is that of society toward drug dealers or assuming that a person is taking drugs because of bias towards them.
Despite the single reaching the top spot on RPM's Dance Chart and peaking at No. 6 on its Canadian Airplay Chart in March 1998, it only got as far as No. 23 on the RPM Top 100 singles chart in June 1998 during its fifteen-week run there. However, the song's video would also help the act win a Best Video and Best Dance Video award at the 1998 MuchMusic Video Awards.[1] and the song itself would give the act a Juno Award for Best Dance Recording in 1999. It would find success overseas four years after the group broke up, where it reached No. 8 in the United Kingdom in 2003.
