"Unbroken" is a song performed by Australian-New Zealand recording artist Stan Walker. Written and produced by OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, the song was released by Sony Music Australia on 12 April 2010 as the lead single from Walker's second album, From the Inside Out. Walker felt privileged to record a song written by Tedder and complimented him, "He's the man, one of the best songwriters and producers in the world. I am so blessed." The piano-based pop ballad received a mixed response from critics.
"Unbroken" was promoted by performances on Sunrise and Hey Hey It's Saturday and a Matthew Chuang-directed music video, filmed in Melbourne. The single peaked at number nine on the New Zealand Singles Chart and number twenty-three on the ARIA Singles Chart, and lasted thirteen and seventeen weeks on the charts, respectively.
"Unbroken" was written and produced by OneRepublic leader Ryan Tedder, who was behind singles such as Beyoncé Knowles' "Halo" (2009) and Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love" (2007). "Unbroken" was recorded at Artisan Studios in Birmingham, England, and Phil Tan mixed the record at Soapbox Studios, Atlanta, Georgia. Walker was honoured by the opportunity to record a piece of Tedder's work. Walker told the Daily Telegraph, "It is a privilege for me to record a song by the guy who wrote 'Halo' for Beyoncé and 'Bleeding Love' for Leona. He's the man, one of the best songwriters and producers in the world. I am so blessed." In an interview with MTV Australia he said, "The song is so amazing. When I first heard the song I was like this is a beat song and then I read the lyrics and that's what won me over because it talks about my life, being nothing and being in pieces, but then becoming unbroken." "Unbroken" is a piano-driven pop music ballad, and features a repetitive chorus.
