Mint Condition didn’t just sing about heartbreak — they gave us a masterclass in emotional honesty and growth through melody.
In this episode of I Talk To Myself Sometimes, Antoinette revisits “Breakin’ My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes)” and explores how this classic 90s slow jam evolved from a song about desire into a reflection on self-awareness, boundaries, and what it means to outgrow certain versions of love.

• Why this song still defines the sound of emotional growth and discovery
