"Je me casse" (English: I break) was the Maltese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in Rotterdam, performed by Destiny, who had been chosen to represent the country the previous year before the Contest was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
It was seen as one of the favorites to win, even topping the bookies' odds at one stage. It topped the vote in the first semi-final, successfully qualifying for the final where it finished in 7th place with 255 points - the archipelago's best result since their third place finishes in the 1992 and 1998 Contests, respectively.

Babe are you hurting
Are you alright
You look like an angel that fell from the sky
And boy you keep talking massaging my ego
With your unoriginal pick-up lines (Hell no what you gonna do)
Hell no, I am not your honey
Hell no, I don’t want your money
Got it wrong I ain’t into dummies
Nuh-uh-uh-uh
So baby, it’s not a maybe
Yeah I’m too good to be true
But there’s nothing in it for you
So if I show some skinv
Doesn’t mean I’m giving in
Not your baby
Je me casse
Je me casse
If you don’t get it
Je me casse
Je me casse
I’m not your baby
Boy why you putting that drink in my hand
Think if I’m drunk then I’ll give you a chance
Boy, you keep buying and complying so stop trying
Not gonna give it up ain’t changing my plans (Hell no what you gonna do)
Hell no, I am not your honey
Hell no, I don’t want your money
Got it wrong I ain’t into dummies
Nuh-uh-uh-uh
So baby, it’s not a maybe
Yeah I’m too good to be true
But there’s nothing in it for you
So if I show some skin
Doesn’t mean I’m giving in
Not your baby
Je me casse
Je me casse
If you don’t get it
Je me casse
Je, je, je me casse
If you don’t get it
Ladies, if you feel like flaunting tonight it’s alright, it’s alright
(Ladies) Ladies
(Listen to me) Listen and go right ahead
Show you’re shining bright
If you don’t get it
If you, if you don’t get it (Je me casse)
If you don’t get it
If you, if you
Excuse my French
Baby, it’s not a maybe
Yeah I’m too good to be true
But there’s nothing in it for you
So if I show some skin
Doesn’t mean I’m giving in
Not your baby
Je me casse
Je, je, je me casse
I’m not your baby
