At Eurovision[edit]
Karolina Gočeva performed 9th on the night of the contest, following Estonia and preceding Israel. At the close of the voting she had received 25 points, placing 19th in a field of 24, thus relegating Macedonia from the 2003 contest.[1] During the performance, Gočeva appeared donning a dress and a golden corsette designed by Aleksandar Nošpal which recived praise at the show. In a later review of her performance, Katerina Stevovska of the Macedonian journal Sloboden Pečat opined that Gočeva "perfectly" sang her song.[2]
