Background and development
Ester d'Arras started preparing for Break Me Down in June 2005. Following the death of her boyfriend Donatien Auguste on September 15 of that same year, recording for the album was delayed for at least 15 months. In April 2006, d'Arras took part in filming for a movie called ???, which later hit theaters in May 2007. After filming ended, d'Arras headed to a studio near Montreal and started recording the songs she wrote for Break Me Down. The album was released on July 13, 2007 with the tour being announced shortly after the release and ticket sales starting in early August. Each show started between 6:00 and 7:45 in the evening.

Between March and April 2008, d'Arras took part in filming for ???, which premiered in May 2009. The tour started up again in November 2008.
