"Welcome to Heartbreak" is a song by American hip hop artist Kanye West. The song was inspired by a conversation West had with MTV Executive Vice President Dave Sirulnick, who showed him some photos of his wife and children. It struck West that he really wanted to be married and have a family, but it hadn't worked out for him.〔(Welcome to Heartbreak Songfacts )〕 It features then-newly signed GOOD Music artist Kid Cudi, and was co-produced by West with Jeff Bhasker and Plain Pat. Despite not being released as a single at that time, the song managed to enter the pop charts. The song did feature on the Kiss and BBC Radio 1Xtra playlists in the United Kingdom. The song was supposed to be officially released as the third single from ''808s & Heartbreak'' in the U.K. on May 18, 2009, but was never released. ==Critical reception== "Welcome to Heartbreak" was met by positive reviews from music critics, many of whom cited it, along with "Love Lockdown" and "Heartless" as one of the highlights of ''808s & Heartbreak''. In a review of the album, Brandon Perkins of URB analyzed the song's confessional lyrical content, saying, "On 'Welcome to Heartbreak,' Kanye pits his prized possessions against the simplicity of 'real life', marking the basic juxtapositions with a disconnected yearning: 'My friend showed me pictures of his kids/All I could show him was pictures of my cribs.' In the landscape of ''808'', Kanye's aspirations for fame have created a mutually exclusive dichotomy with family and love." ''Blender'' describes the song's sonic texture as, "so icy and desolate it should come with a pair of snowshoes" while PopMatters commented that "... it's the tone of the story that leaves the impression, not the stories themselves. He turns the vocal effects off to sound naked, vulnerable." Kid Cudi also received praise for his vocal ability, with Wilson McBee of ''Slant Magazine'' writing that his, "anxious cooing provides a perfect counter to West's attenuated sketches about fame and self-loathing."
