It was the Greek entry for the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013, where it eventually came 6th at the finals.[1] It was composed as a mix of ska, punk and rebetiko music styles.[2] The song's chorus is sung in English while the rest of it is in Greek.[3] It was performed at Eurovision with the performers wearing kilts.[4] The song also included a number of allusions to the Greek government-debt crisis and a feeling of suffering as a result of it.[5]
