The song is performed in English, and is dance-pop in style, with ethnic elements. Psychrami emerged from the first season of the reality talent show Greek Idol in 2010,[1] and promptly signed with record label Minos EMI. Antigoni's song finished in 2nd place, after Luca's "Watch my dance", which represented Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011
