Lyrics:
I can tell by your eyes you want more than this\\nBut can we be much more beyond these sheets?\\nNo I don't, don't wanna mess with your head\\nBut my love, it's hard to love again\\n\nIt don't come easy and it don't come cheap\\nBeen burned too many times to love easily\\nDon't mistake me, my love runs deep\\nBut it don't come easy, it don't come cheap\\nNo, not with me\\n\nI used to move in fast to erase my past\\nBut it never works, no, it never lasts, no\\nIn my mind I gotta get things right\\nTake it slow before I jump this time\\n\nNo, it don't come easy, no, it don't come cheap\\nBeen burned too many times to love easily\\nDon't mistake me, my love runs deep\\nBut it don't come easy, it don't come cheap\\nNo, not with me\\n\nAnd if you think I've got a heart of stone\\nYou couldn't be more wrong, oh…\\nYou might think I've been afraid too long\\nAfraid of love\\n\nBut it don't come easy\\nBeen burned too many times to love easily\\nDon't mistake me, my love runs deep\\nBut it don't come easy, it don't come cheap\\n\nNo, not with me\\nOh… no, not with me\\nOh… don't mistake me, my love runs deep\\nBut it don't come easy, it don't come cheap\\nNo, not with me
Australia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 with the song "Don't Come Easy" written by Anthony Egizii, David Musumeci and Michael Angelo. The song was performed by Isaiah Firebrace, who was internally selected by the Australian broadcaster Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) to represent that nation at the 2017 contest in Kyiv, Ukraine. Firebrace as the Australian representative and the song he performed, "Don't Come Easy", was announced and presented to the public on 7 March 2017 during an announcement event in Melbourne. Australia debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2015 by invitation from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) as a "one-off" special guest to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Eurovision. On 17 November 2015, the EBU announced that SBS had been invited to participate in the 2016 contest and that Australia would once again take part. In 2015, Australia was guaranteed a spot in the final of the contest and was allowed to vote during both semi-finals and the final; however, from the 2016 contest and onwards, Australia would have to qualify to the final from one of two semi-finals and could only vote in the semi-final in which the nation was allocated to compete. Australia was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 9 May 2017. Performing during the show in position 3, "Don't Come Easy" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 13 May. It was later revealed that Australia placed sixth out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 160 points. In the final, Australia performed in position 14 and placed ninth out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 173 points.
