Andorra competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2004. Performing during the show in position 6, "Jugarem a estimar-nos" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Andorra placed eighteenth out of the 22 participating countries in the semi-final with 12 points.
