"Oh Cecilia (Breaking My Heart)" is a 2014 single by British pop band The Vamps, adapted from Simon & Garfunkel's 1970 hit "Cecilia". The original appeared on their debut studio album Meet the Vamps (2014), but a later version featuring vocals from Canadian singer Shawn Mendes was released on 12 October 2014 as the album's fifth single.
The song has charted in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa, and the United Kingdom (where it peaked at number 9, becoming the group's fifth successive top 10 single).
"Oh Cecilia (Breaking My Heart)" is an adaptation of Simon & Garfunkel's 1970 hit song "Cecilia", largely sampling on the music of the song. The lyrics are substantially original, though still relying on the main chorus lyrics of the original song (Cecilia, you're breaking my heart / You're shaking my confidence daily / Oh Cecilia I'm down on my knees / I'm begging you please to come home).
Two music videos exist for the song. One of them features the Vamps and Mendes shipwrecked in an area they don't initially realise is already inhabited, sending out an SOS and then bolting upon sight of a plane, and the other is in support of charity and features famous faces.
