The song was performed sixteenth on the night, following Greece's Tania Tsanaklidou with "Charlie Chaplin" and preceding Luxembourg's Baccara with "Parlez-vous français?". At the close of voting, it had received 13 points, placing 16th in a field of 20.
The song is sung as a dialogue among friends, with one explaining that he is suffering from an illness. The others suggest what it could be, but he reports that a trip to the doctor resulted in a diagnosis of being in love - with the rhythm of the heart being the title of the song.
It was succeeded as Danish representative at the 1979 contest by Tommy Seebach with "Disco Tango".
