On the stage, Dina was wearing a light orange dress. "It's not the dress for the live show yet, but it will be very similar", she had explained before.

Her four backing vocalists were dressed in casual clothes. In the end, Dina showed her Semi-Final outfit to the cameras - a long beige dress with small gemstones attached to it.

The stage was set in dark colours in the beginning of the song, and shining white bubbles surrounded Dina. Then the stage brightened up toward the end of the performance, when Dina was joined by her backing artists at the front of the stage. In the end, two of them let two balloons fly.
