Eurovision Song Contest
Main article: Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022

The song was selected to represent Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, after winning Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, the music competition that selects Denmark's entries for the Eurovision Song Contest. The semi-finals of the 2022 contest featured the same line-up of countries as determined by the draw for the 2021 contest's semi-finals. Denmark will place into the second first-final, hold on 12 May 2022, and perform in the second half of the show.

Critical reception

Kasper Madsbøll Christensen, a reporter for DR, reviewed that while he praised the energy of the band's live performances, that "it sounds a bit old-fashioned". In addition, he said that "[we are] not [coming] close to winning Eurovision", and that he thought that Denmark would not reach the final.[4]
