Likewise to the country's previous entry, former Serbia and Montenegro and independent Serbian participant Željko Joksimović composed the song. It is known as a typical "Balkan ballad" by a few fans.
It qualified from the second semifinal in 9th place. In the final, it was performed 16th following Greece and preceding Germany. At the close of voting, it finished in 13th place with 44 points, Montenegro's best result in the contest to date.

Nebo mi te donijelo
Nebo mi te uzelo
Još me boli što je boljelo
Dani su mi zidovi
Noći su mi okovi
Još ti služim moja ljubavi
Još te ne dam maglama sa planina
Još te ne dam vodama iz dubina
A ti kažeš pusti me, živ mi bio
Zaboravu predaj me, sad adio
Procvjetao ruzmarin,savio se bijeli krin
meni sve na tugu miriše
Probam da zaboravim, da na tebe ne mislim
Al za tobom srce uzdiše
Još te ne dam maglama sa planina
Još te ne dam vodama iz dubina
A ti kažeš pusti me, živ mi bio
Zaboravu predaj me, sad adio
Na,na,naj, na na....
Još te ne dam maglama sa planina
Još te ne dam vodama iz dubina
A ti kažeš pusti me, živ mi bio
Zaboravu predaj me, sad adio
The sky brought you to me,
The sky took you from me,
Still hurts me what used to hurt.
My days are the walls
My nights are the shackles (bonds)
I’m still serving you, my love.
I still don’t give you to the mists of the mountains,
I still don’t give you to the depths of the water.
And you ask me to let you go, forever
To sink you into oblivion and say goodbye.
Rosemary has blossomed, white lily has bent,
Everything smells like sorrow.
I try to forget, not to think of you,
But my heart is still pining for you.
I still don’t give you to the mists of the mountains,
I still don’t give you to the depths of the water.
And you ask me to let you go, forever
To sink you into oblivion and say goodbye.
A,a,a....
I still don’t give you to the mists of the mountains,
I still don’t give you to the depths of the water.
And you ask me to let you go, forever
To sink you into oblivion and say goodbye.
