One Thing I Should Have Done was the Cypriot entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in Vienna performed by Giannis Karagiannis, marking the country's return after a 2-year absence. It was one of the slowest songs at the contest that year, but not really a favourite amongst the fans.
Surprisingly, it qualified from the second semifinal in 6th place. In the final, it was performed 11th following Sweden and preceding Australia. At the close of voting, it finished in 22nd place with 11 points.

Tonight the rain is falling
I’m feeling cold, and I’m
Out of my mind, without you
My head is spinning like a top
Back to the time we had a lot…going on
Now my world lies shattered
How quickly life can change
I always did everything for you
I gave you my heart, you gave me yours too
You’d make me feel I was really someone
But there’s one thing I should have done
One day you think you have it all
The next you’re staring at the wall…in a dream
The road that once was paved with gold
Has turned a rusty shade
Of all the saddest colors in the world
Now my life’s in tatters
How quickly it all can change
I always did everything for you
I gave you my heart, you gave me yours too
You’d make me feel I was really someone
But there’s one thing I should have done
I should have been there for you
I should have been there for you
I should have been there for you
I should have been there
I didn’t do everything for you
But I tried so hard and that’s the truth
I’d make you feel you were really someone
But there’s one thing I should have done
I nearly did everything for you
But I broke your heart, now mine’s broken too
In your hour of need, I didn’t come…..
That’s the one thing I should……..have done
