==Background and composition==
"My Heart Is Broken" was written by Amy Lee, Terry Balsamo, Tim McCord, Will Hunt and Zach Williams and it was produced by Nick Raskulinecz.〔 The song was recorded at Blackbird Studio in Nashville, Tennessee.〔 During an interview, Amy Lee stated that she originally wrote the song on a harp.〔 She added that the band wrote the song along with "What You Want" and the piano part at the beginning of the song was written on a harp which was a slower and an easier instrument for her.〔 However, during the pre-production of ''Evanescence'' the band made the tempo of the song faster so when it was time to record the song it was impossible to play it on a harp.〔 Lee said that the song sounded better with the piano part because it was a stronger and more prominent instrument which made the song "one of the most passionate songs on the whole album".〔 During another interview with rock magazine ''Kerrang!'' Lee revealed the inspiration of "My Heart Is Broken" saying: "A good friend of mine heads up an organization in New York that rescues victims of sex trafficking. My husband and I got involved and were really moved and horrified. As I was writing the song I was putting myself in that place - what would it be like to be trapped? Threatened? Alone? Unable to tell anyone what was happening because you're afraid of what would happen?".〔 The song is a ballad that starts with piano and Lee sings the lines "I will never find a way to heal my soul/ And I will wander 'til the end of time/ Torn away from you/ My heart is broken" during the chorus of the song.〔〔 Chad Grischow of the website IGN found "cascading piano and grubby march of guitar and stomping drums" which were similar to the older material by the band.〔
