"We Break the Dawn" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Michelle Williams. It was written by Solange Knowles, Andrew Frampton and Wayne Wilkins and produced by Wilkins and Frampton for Williams' third studio album Unexpected (2008).[1][2] Officially premiering as the album's lead single on the People.com website on March 31, 2008,[3] the single received critical acclaim for its 'terrific fusion of European disco and dance-pop' and 'irresistible' chorus.
"We Break the Dawn" dominated the US Billboard Dance charts, topping the Hot Dance Airplay chart[4] and peaking at number four on the Hot Dance Club Play chart. Despite being promoted by Williams with various live performances, TV appearances, interviews and with the release of a Phil Griffin directed music video,[5] the song failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. In Europe however, despite minimal promotion, the single became Williams' first song to chart on the UK Singles Chart – where it debuted and peaked within the top 50 at number forty-seven, the single also charted at number twenty-six on the Billboard Global Dance Tracks chart, and also peaked within the Hungarian Radio Top 40 in 2009. The song was nominated for "Best R&B Vocal Performance By a Female Artist" in the 2008 NewNowNext Awards.
