"Teardrop" is a song by Massive Attack that was released as a single on 27 April 1998. It is the second single from their third album, Mezzanine. The song became another UK hit for the group, peaking at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart. Vocals are by Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins.
The song, especially the instrumental portions at the beginning and the end, has been used in numerous TV programmes and movies. The bass drum beat, reminiscent of a heartbeat, samples the Les McCann song "Sometimes I Cry" and was used in the opening theme of the U.S. medical television series House. It also featured as incident music in a 2001 episode of Coronation Street when Sarah Platt is chased and then again at the end.

In printed circuit boards, a teardrops are typically drop-shaped features at the junction of vias or contact pads and traces.
The main purpose of teardrops is to enhance structural integrity in presence of thermal or mechanical stresses. Structural integrity may be compromised, e.g., by misaligment during drilling, so that too much copper may be removed by the drill hole in the area where a trace connects to the pad or via. An extra advantage is the enlarging of manufacturing tolerances, making manufacturing easier and cheaper.
While a typical shape of a teardrop is straight-line tapering, they may be concave. To produce a " snowman"-shaped teardrop, a secondary pad of smaller size is added at the junction overlapping with the primary pad (hence the nickname).
