The song is an up-tempo number, with the duo singing about the great power of love. As Portugal had not qualified for the final in the 2004 contest, the song had to go through the semi-final. Here, it was performed third, following Lithuania's "Little by Little" by Laura & The Lovers and preceding Moldova's Zdob și Zdub with "Boonika bate doba".

At the close of voting, it had received 51 points, placing 17th and failing to qualify for the final, a result which meant that Portugal would have to compete in the semi-final at their next contest appearance.

The song was succeeded as Portuguese representative at the 2006 contest by "Coisas de nada", which was performed by Nonstop.
