Albania in the Eurovision Song Contest , being performed in English byAnjeza Shahini in the semi-final of the 2004 Contest.The song was performed 13th in the semi-final, following
Lithuania 's entry "What's Happened To Your Love " by the duoLinas & Simona and precedingCyprus ' entry "Stronger Every Minute" byLisa Andreas . The song ended the night in fourth place with 167 points, enough to qualify for the final.Drawn seventh in the final, the song followed the
Germany 's Max with "Can't Wait Until Tonight ", and precededUkraine 'sRuslana with "Wild Dances". At the close of voting, the song had received 106 points to finish seventh, which guaranteed Albania a final berth at the 2005 Contest.The song itself begins with Shahini singing over a piano melody before it quickly builds to a moderately-paced dance number. The lyrics deal with the singer's feelings in what appears to be a whirlwind romance.
