"Bust Your Windows" is the second single by R&B singer-songwriter Jazmine Sullivan from her debut Grammy-nominated album Fearless. It was available as a digital download on Amazon.com in the U.S. on the September 16, 2008. It was then later released as a promo CD on November 15, 2008 after it was sent to radio stations for airplay around the U.S.

"Bust Your Windows" was nominated in the Best R&B Song category for 2009's Grammy Awards. "Bust Your Windows" was number 58 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.

"Bust Your Windows" is a midtempo R&B ballad with a moderate Latin beat and a tango rhythm. It is set in common time with a moderate tempo of 107 beats per minute and is written in the key of F harmonic minor. It follows the chord progression Fm–C#–Bbm–C. Sullivan's vocal range spans from F3 to Eb5.

Salaam Remi contributes to the song's emotional weight with his maudlin, noir-style string samples taken from Bad Man Waltz. Epinions described the song's composition: "The musical layers are deceptively intricate, with a unison string/woodwind line that continually evolves throughout the song and a very simple vocal harmony mix that moves into a call and response against Jazmine's pleas. Neither of the facets scream for attention but repeated listens bear out just how well they framed this song."
