"Hello Heartbreak" is a dance-pop song recorded by American singer-songwriter Michelle Williams. It was co-written by Williams, James Scheffer, Travis Jones and Rico Love, and produced by Alex da Kid and Jay Wes for Williams' third studio album Unexpected (2008). The song was set to be released as the album's third single and as the first official UK single from the re-release of Unexpected, but plans were shelved.

"Hello Heartbreak" received universally positive reception from critics. Mikael Wood of the Billboard described the song as a "shiny electro-R&B gem", while Josette Compton of Entertainment Weekly noted the "technodriven" track is "reminiscent of Kylie Minogue". Pete Lewis of Blues & Soul also compared the song to other works, commenting that the "synth-heavy uptempo cut" "heavily" relies "on the kind of Euro-dance-inspired electronica utilised recently by fellow US urbanites like Timbaland and Justin Timberlake".

Single was released in United States on December 2, 2008 for digital download and airplay through Columbia and Music World. In June 2009, Michelle confirmed via Twitter that her album Unexpected would receive a full UK re-release and that "Hello Heartbreak" would be the first single set for release in July 2009, but those plans were unexepctedly scrapped.
