The song was the winner of the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix contest, held on 6 February, which selected the Danish entry for Eurovision. With 149 points, they placed fourth at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 held in Oslo.[2][3]

The song didn't escape controversy as it was alleged that it was too similar to The Police "Every Breath You Take".[4]

Later in 2010, the song was covered by South African artists Lianie May & Jay. Swedish band Scotts recorded a cover version of the song as a duet with Erica Sjöström from the Drifters, which in 2010 appeared on both on the Scotts album Vi gör det igen[5] and the Drifters' album Stanna hos mig.[6]
