Eurovision Song Contest 2017



The song represented Estonia in the 'Eurovision Song Contest 2017'. Laura and Koit were joined off-stage by backing vocalists Kaire Vilgats, Dagmar Oja and Rolf Roosalu. Estonia competed in the second half of the second semi-final, performing 17th, second to last. During the performance, Laura's microphone failed, rendering the first line inaudible to the audience.

After receiving 85 points and placing 14th out of 18, they did not place among the top 10 songs that made it through to the final. Splitting up the points between televotes and jury votes showed the song once again place considerably higher with the audience (6th) than with the juries (17th).
