The track represented Romania in the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo , Norway after winning the pre-selection show '' Selecția Națională '' . Seling and Ovi 's win sparked controversy after it was speculated that Eriksrud was one of the writers of " Playing with Fire " , which was not permitted by the rules of the national selection as he is not of Romanian origin . The accusations were denied and it was later confirmed that Eriksrud only produced the track . In Oslo , the singers qualified for the Grand Final , where they finished third with 162 points . This remains Romania 's best result in the contest alongside 2005 's " Let Me Try " by Luminița Anghel and Sistem . Onstage , Seling and Ovi played a double piano wearing a black catsuit and black clothing , respectively , accompanied by four background vocalists
