Overview
"Break Me" is a reworking of an earlier demo, "Ever Again." It was later reworked again as the demos "Stand Up" and "You're Holding Me Back". "Break Me" was demoed by Cuomo at S.I.R. Rehearsal Studios and was considered part of Cuomo's "A-list" of songs to focus on. Ultimately, however, the song was not recorded by Weezer when the band entered the studio to record Make Believe.
