At Eurovision[]

On the night of the contest Dino and Béatrice performed 22nd, following Germany and preceding Estonia. The song received 86 points at the close of the voting, placing 7th of 23 countries competing.[2]

It was the highest ranking Bosnia and Herzegovina had received in the Contest up to that time, and it will remain so until 2006, when Hari Mata Hari, the original winners of this year's national final, were selected to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina with the song "Lejla", where they came third.

Despite high placement, Bosnia and Herzegovina had low average score over the past 5 contests, and so was forced to skip the 2000 Contest. It would eventually return to Eurovision in 2001.
