"Breakaway" (sometimes titled "I Can't Break Away") is a song by Australian band Big Pig, released in November 1987 as the third single from their debut album Bonk. Outside the United Kingdom, it was released in February 1988. The song, written by Mitchell Bottler and Gary Zekley, is about freedom and fighting against destiny.[3] Like many other Big Pig songs, "Breakaway" features plentiful drums and percussion, but no guitars.

The song became the band's most successful single, reaching number one in New Zealand in May 1988. It also peaked at number eight in their native Australia and managed to chart in North America, reaching number 60 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and just making it into the top 10 on Canada's RPM Top Singles chart.

In 1989, the song appeared on the soundtrack to the science-fiction comedy film Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.[4]
