It was released as the second single of their fourth album, Prayer for the Weekend. On March 10, 2007 the song won Melodifestivalen 2007 and therefore became Sweden's Eurovision Song Contest 2007 entry. The song won both the jury and public vote. The song includes the lyric "just a mortal with potential of a superman", taken from the 1971 David Bowie song "Quicksand". Similarities have also been drawn with the 1970 Edison Lighthouse one-hit-wonder "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)".

It received votes from six countries: 12 points from Denmark and Norway, 10 from Iceland, 8 from Finland, 7 from the United Kingdom, 2 from Andorra, and 0 from the other 35 countries.
