## Background

[edit]

### Conception

[edit]

"Only Teardrops" was written in 2012 by Lise Cabble, Julia Fabrin Jakobsen, and Thomas Stengaard, and produced by Frederik Thaae.[2][1]

### Eurovision

[edit]

"Only Teardrops" at Eurovision

On 26 January 2013, "Only Teardrops" performed by Emmelie de Forest competed in the 43rd edition of the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, winning the competition. During the performance, several musicians on stage were accidentally dressed in SS uniforms, due to a mix-up in DR's costume department where the costumes were also meant to be used in a historical drama.[3] As the festival was used by the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) to select its song and performer for the 58th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, the song became the Danish entrant, and de Forest the performer, for Eurovision.[4][5]

On 14 May 2013, the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest was held in the Malmö Arena in Malmö hosted by Sveriges Television (SVT) and broadcast live throughout the continent. Emmelie de Forest performed "Only Teardrops" fifth on the evening. After the grand final it was revealed that it had received in its semi-final 167 points, placing first and qualifying for the grand final.[6] On 18 May 2013, she performed the song again in the grand final eighteenth on the evening.[7] At the close of voting, it had received 281 points finished in first place and winning the contest.[8] It was Denmark's third win in the contest.

### Aftermath

[edit]

As the winning broadcaster, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) gave DR the responsibility to host the following edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. De Forest opened the first semi-final on 6 May 2014 performing "Only Teardrops".[9] On 31 March 2015, she performed the song in the Eurovision sixtieth anniversary show Eurovision Song Contest's Greatest Hits held in London.[10][11]

## Commercial performance

The song was an instant hit in de Forest's home country of Denmark, where it debuted and peaked at number two on the Danish Singles Chart upon its release.[15] Following its victory in Eurovision, the song re-entered the singles chart at number one. It has since been certified gold by IFPI Denmark for sales of 15,000 digital copies. It was the fourteenth best-selling digital single in Denmark in 2013.[16]

In the United Kingdom, "Only Teardrops" debuted at number 99, despite Eurovision airing only four hours before the cut-off point for the chart.[17] A week later, the single rose to a high of No. 15 in the UK. In its third week, it dropped to No. 84 and dropped out of the chart the following week after 3 weeks on British chart. According to The Official Charts Company, "Only Teardrops" is the seventh most downloaded Eurovision song to date in the United Kingdom.[18]
