At Eurovision
On 14 October 2008 the running order for Junior Eurovision took place, and the Romanian song was given the spot to perform first. At Junior Eurovision, the Romanian performers wore dresses symbolising the four seasons and water. The presentation was very similar to that of the national final. Behind the dancers was a giant globe. The song placed in 9th position with 58 points. The entry also received points from every country, the most being eight points from Cyprus and Macedonia.
