"Addicted To You" was the Finnish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002, performed in English by Laura.
The song was performed thirteenth on the night (following Sweden's Afro-dite with "Never Let It Go" and preceding Denmark's Malene with "Tell Me Who You Are"). At the close of voting, it had received 24 points, placing 20th in a field of 24, thus disqualifying Finland from participation in the 2003 Contest.
The song is sung from the perspective of a woman telling her lover how she feels about him. She seems amazed at the depth of her own feelings, telling him that "If you were a drug, I'd be addicted to you" and "Every time that we say 'goodbye', I just die a little inside". For her performance, Laura was dressed in the colours of the Finnish flag, in a pale blue top and white trousers.
While the song did seem to do poorly in the contest, among the contestants themselves it was voted the best song in the contest. Addicted to you also won the Eurovision Fanclub best song award that year.
It was succeeded as Finnish representative at the 2004 Contest by Jari Sillanpää with "Takes 2 To Tango".
