It was performed by the rock group Mumiy Troll. The lead singer, Ilia Lagutenko, who had also written the song, appeared dressed casually in a navy blue shirt and white trousers.

At the close of the voting had received 37 points, placing 12th in a field of 23. During voting, the Latvian announcer Renārs Kaupers
