Paparizou was rumored as a participant of the 2014 Melodifestivalen in November , along with Yohio , who participated in the 2013 Melodifestivalen . However , after a confusion , some of the Greek media reported that Paparizou would be actually internally selected to represent Sweden in the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest . On 26 November 2013 , it was officially announced by Sveriges Television that Paparizou will compete in the selection . After the press conference held on 26 November 2013 for the presentation of the Melodifestivalen acts , Paparizou gave an interview about her song and her participation in the Melodifestivalen . She reportedly said " I had told I would never think of participating and doing this all again . But you never know what will happen in the future . And I 'm here today " . The song was written by Bobby Ljunggren , Henrik Wikström , Karl-Ola Kjellholm and Sharon Vaughn and the lyrics of the song were first seen on 29 January 2014 , just three days before the first semi-final of Melodifestivalen . A preview of the song , along with the other seven entries of the semi-final , was revealed on 30 January 2014
