”Exclusive: Rivers Cuomo Explains Weezer's Cover Of "Un-Break My Heart"” (på amerikansk engelska). American Songwriter. 22 oktober 2010. https://americansongwriter.com/exclusive-rivers-cuomo-explains-weezers-cover-of-un-break-my-heart/. Läst 13 februari 2022. Originalcitat: "I loved that song. It was actually Rick Rubin's suggestion. We both loved that song and we both thought it would be great for Weezer, and for my voice, and it’d be great to do like a rock version of it with more of an alternative aesthetic. And you know, just the way I would sing it versus in the way Toni Braxton would sing it. And I love the way it came out, and I think probably the rest of the band really does not like it, and that’s probably why it didn’t make our fifth record, in 2005 when we were recording it."
”Toni Braxton - Secrets (1996)” (på brittisk engelska). http://www.onthisdayinpop.com/2021/06/toni-braxton-secrets-1996.html. Läst 17 oktober 2023. Originalcitat: "Un-break My Heart achieved its enduring success because it is really two songs. The first is a blistering ballad of heartbreak, penned by Diane Warren and produced by David Foster. Tapping into her lower register allows the sadness of the lyrics to pour out, so much so that the listener doesn't know if such catharsis will ever lead to healing. Luckily, the second take on the song, the stunning Soul-Hex Vocal Anthem Mix transforms the song into a scorching dance floor classic, fuelled by tribal beats, that lets you dance the pain away."
”Bille Woodruff on Directing Iconic R&B Music Videos: Interview” (på amerikansk engelska). Rated R&B. 29 juni 2020. https://ratedrnb.com/2020/06/an-interview-with-bille-woodruff/. Läst 13 februari 2022. Originalcitat 1: "When I heard that song, creatively I went in a different direction for the video because I wanted to do what was right for the video. I didn’t want to make it about “you did me wrong.” I wanted to make it feel bigger. I wanted the loss to feel bigger and more thematic." Originalcitat 2: "One of my favorite movies was A Star Is Born, the one with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. It was one of the thematic inspirations for that video. It’s the reason why I had her in that curly do, when she’s in the white dress. It was kind of like what Barbra Streisand’s hair was like. The whole thing of her man getting killed [from the film]. Clive wasn’t feeling it but LA would still be in ultimate control regardless. He was like, “Just go ahead and take the video to MTV and BET"." Originalcitat 3: "'Bille, we love you, we love Toni but this video is like….' I’m like, 'What?' They’re like, 'This is like Whitney Houston.' What that meant was it’s too adult contemporary because Whitney had become that at that moment, which was not hip. They were like, 'We don’t know what to tell you.' So I’m freaking out because we spent all this money on this video."
