"Fixing a Broken Heart" is the 10th single by the Australian pop rock band Indecent Obsession, released by Mushroom Records and MCA Records in 1993 off their third album Relativity. It was the band's first single with lead vocalist Richard Hennassey, who replaced David Dixon after the band moved to London that year. Two versions of the song exist: one solely by the band and the other a duet featuring Japanese singer-songwriter Mari Hamada; the latter featured on Hamada's 1994 international release All My Heart.[1] The single peaked at No. 21 on Belgium's Ultrapop 50 Flanders chart.
