The song was performed twenty-third on the night (following Spain's Eva Santamaría with "Hombres" and preceding Israel's Sarah'le Sharon & The Shiru Group with "Shiru"). At the close of voting, it had received 17 points, placing 19th in a field of 25.
This entry is a plea for global unity, with the duo urging their listeners "don't stop helping people".
The poor result would've resulted in Cyprus's relegation from the 1994 contest. However, Italy's decision to withdraw meant that Cyprus would be allowed to participate, therefore it was succeeded as Cypriot representative at the 1994 Contest by Evridiki with "Ime Anthropos Ki Ego".
