Sweden taking up the 5th rank in the tournament was considered at the time a success, and the song became popular. The song also became a Svensktoppen hit between 30 June-21 July 1974, with two fifth positions being followed up by one 7th and one 9th position.[1]
Before the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Japan and South Korea, Magnus Uggla covered the song.
