At the Eurovision Song Contest 1978 in Paris, 22 April, Björn Skifs intended to cause controversy by singing in English, which could make him disqualified. Instead, he sung a part of the song in nonsense-words, but fortunately only Swedes knew these were wrong.

The song was performed twentieth on the night and last (following Austria's Springtime with "Mrs. Caroline Robinson" . At the close of voting, it had received 26 points, placing 14th in a field of 20.

It was succeeded as Swedish representative at the 1979 Contest by Ted Gärdestad with "Satellit".
