Background


Montaigne said "'Don't Break Me' is a depiction of the enough is enough phase of a relationship breakdown, where one person feels like they are putting much more time, energy and resources into the relationship than the other person and becomes frustrated and resentful. I wrote it while reading 'Co-dependent No More' by Melody Beattie, which really informed the qualities of the character and the relationship dynamic."[2][3]


Eurovision – Australia Decides


Montaigne performed the song wearing a clown costume including a blue wig, and flanked by backing dancers.[3] The song was awarded the most jury points (54) and second highest public televote points (53) for a total of 107, winning Australia's second national selection competition for Eurovision.[3]
