"'Don't Break Me'" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Montaigne, released as a single on 31 January 2020. The song won the second installment of 'Eurovision - Australia Decides', Australia's national selection for Eurovision on 8 February 2020, and was going to represent Australia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020, to be held in Rotterdam, before the contest was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Montaigne was due to compete in the first semi-final which was meant to be held on 12 May 2020.

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."

'Eurovision Australia Decides'



Montaigne performed the song wearing a clown costume including a blue wig, and flanked by backing dancers. 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.
