Jónsi is no stranger to Europe's Favourite TV Show, having represented his country in the 2004 Final with the song Heaven. Jónsi has been busy with a number of projects since then, including recording a solo album, taking part in musical theatre and studying psychology.

Greta explains that she wrote the song a while ago saying "The song was ready in 2010, and the idea was for a single for radio first of all. When I decided it would be a duet, there was no doubt Jónsi was the right man for the job."

Hear in their own words how Greta and Jónsi came to work together, why they chose to perform the song in English, what the Icelandic press and public thought of the song in the video interview below.
