"Don't Break Her Heart" is a song recorded by British girl group Flo. It was released on 5 June 2026 through EMI Records as the second single from the group's second studio album, Therapy at the Club (2026). As well as Flo having writing credits on the track, it was also co-written by Julian Bunetta and Steph Jones, with Bunetta handling the production.
The lyrical content of the song revolves around Flo issuing a warning to the romantic partners of their friends, demanding that they not mistreat them otherwise they would enact revenge on them. Flo described it as an anthem about sisterhood and felt it displayed their love for each other. A music video directed by Troy Roscoe was released alongside the track. "Don't Break Her Heart" peaked at number 24 on the Rhythmic Airplay chart in the U.S.
