"Fixing a Broken Heart" is a song by Australian pop rock band Indecent Obsession, released by Mushroom and MCA Records in 1993 as the lead single from their third album Relativity (1994). The earliest version of the song was recorded by its co-writer Michael Jay, which appeared on his 1992 album Bridge of Hope.[1]
"Fixing a Broken Heart" was the band's first single with lead vocalist Richard Hennassey, who replaced David Dixon after the band moved to London that year. Two versions of the song exist: one solely by the band and the other a duet featuring Japanese singer-songwriter Mari Hamada; the latter featured on Hamada's 1994 international release All My Heart.[2] The single peaked at No. 21 on Belgium's Ultrapop 50 Flanders chart.
