Lyrics

　近頃そろそろゲンカイ！
　ルールなんかカンケーない！
　こんな日々振り切って今すぐ飛び出そう！！
　何もかも許されない
　自由にだってなりたい
　カタチなんてこだわんない
　壊したってかまわない！！

　いつだって強く激しく！！！
　思いはただヒトツ
　終わりなんて信じない
　ホントの明日探し出せるまで！

　BRE∀K DOWN!
　爆音でなる MUSIC
　高鳴る TENSION
　遠くまで飛ばしまくれ！
　ENGINE 全開っっ！！

　この風に飛び乗って
　怒りも悲しみも
　全部残らず投げ飛ばせっっ！

　（そのさ、つまんない話付き合ってる暇なんかあたしにはないんだよね。）
　（レベル低いんじゃないの？）

　LET'S GO!!
　爆発しちゃうくらい
　何も聞こえないくらい
　胸のおく突き刺すくらい
　SPEED 全開っっ！！
　向かい風にだって
　負けるコトなんてない
　戦い続けろっっ！！

Trivia

• In pop'n music, the preview music of BRE∀K DOWN! uses the GF&DM STYLE version of the song.
• Before the 2004.03.23 version of ee'MALL 2nd avenue, the banner displayed BRE∀K DOWN as the title instead of BRE∀K DOWN!. As such, pop'n music 9 is the only game that remained without the change on the banner.
• Before the 2004.03.23 version of ee'MALL 2nd avenue, the Music Comment displayed that BRE∀K DOWN! was originally from GUITARFREAKS 8thMIX & drummania 7thMIX. Since the 2004.03.23 version, the Music Comment displays that BRE∀K DOWN! is originally from DDRMAX2.
  • The Music Comment was changed again on pop'n music 15 ADVENTURE.
• Before pop'n music 14 FEVER!, BRE∀K DOWN!'s songwheel genre was BREAK DOWN!.
• Along with 祭 JAPAN, this is one of the ee'MALL DanceDanceRevolution songs that were given brand new keysounds in pop'n music (unlike, per example, END OF THE CENTURY, which recycled the IIDX keysounds).
