The song received only 33 points in the final vote, ranking at 21st place in the final ranking of the competition. This represents one of the worst placements of the 40 occasions in which Italy has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest. This is also the first time since Italy returned in 2011 the country has not placed inside the top 10. Also this is the worst position for Italy in the whole Eurovision history (although not their worst score, as they finished 17th and joint-last with the dreaded nul points in the 1966 contest with Domenico Modugno's "Dio, come ti amo").
