Context

The song can be first heard when Sigrit (Rachel McAdams) was writing a song and playing the piano after returning to her hotel room. Lars (Will Ferrell) overhears Sigrit working on a new song, not knowing that it was a song she dedicated to him. Lars wrongly assumes that it was a love song for Alexander (Dan Stevens).

The song was sung during the finals of the Eurovision Song Contest after Lars arrived just in time for the grand finale after asking for a ride from some initially unwilling American tourists. Instead of their official entry "Double Trouble", Sigrit and Lars perform Husavik. Since Fire Saga changed the song for the finals, they are disqualified from the contest but "won the hearts of the people". Lars and Sigrit kiss after performing the song.
