Background

The song is a dramatic ballad, with the singer telling her lover all the things she would do for him, but emphasising that she would "never let [him] go". The song topped the Greek charts and was certified gold in Greece.[1]

Eurovision

The song was performed seventeenth on the night, following Ukraine's Olexandr Ponomariov with "Hasta la vista" and preceding Norway's Jostein Hasselgård with "I'm Not Afraid to Move On". It was the first time in the contest that the Greek entry did not feature any Greek lyrics as the song was performed fully in English. At the close of voting, it had received 25 points and was placed 17th in a field of 26.

For her Eurovision appearance, Mando wore an unusual navy blue gown, with a very tight lace-up bodice.

It was succeeded as Greek entry at the 2004 contest by Sakis Rouvas with "Shake It".
