"Gimme" was the Cypriot entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002, performed in English (the first occasion that the Cypriot entry had not featured Greek lyrics and the first time that English lyrics had been performed) by One.

The song was performed first on the night (followed by the United Kingdom's Jessica Garlick with "Come Back"). At the close of voting, it had received 85 points, placing 6th in a field of 24.

A few seconds after the lead singer, Constantinos Christoforou, began singing, a technical hitch led to the filmed 'postcard' being started, as a caption bearing the words 'Ugly Duckling' was shown. Luckily, the picture of the stage was quickly brought back.

The song is a boyband number, with a girl being asked to give a sign that she loves the singers.

One member of the band (Constantinos Christoforou) had already participated for Cyprus at the Eurovision Song Contest 1996 with Mono Yia Mas. As he would make a further solo appearance at the 2005 Contest with "Ela Ela (Come Baby)", the song represents the middle "leg" in the rare sequence of a Eurovision contestant performing solo, then as a member of a group, before a second solo performance.

It was succeeded as Cypriot representative at the 2003 Contest by Stelios Konstantas with "Feeling Alive".
