Break Up is a collaborative album between Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson. The first single, Relator was released as a digital download on 25 May 2009. The full album was released by Atco/Rhino on 15 September 2009. Pete's brother Rick Yorn is Scarlett's agent.
The album was recorded in 2006, thus preceding several albums that Yorn and Johansson have released as solo artists. Johansson completed her vocals for the project in two afternoon sessions.
Yorn said that the concept for the album was realised in a dream he had. The project was inspired by Serge Gainsbourg's 1967 and 1968 albums with Brigitte Bardot.
Johansson spoke about the project recently; "The idea of two people vocalizing their relationship through duets...I always thought of it as just a small project between friends. It perfectly captured where I was in my life at the time".
