S.A.G.A.P.O. was the Greek entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2002 in Tallinn performed by Michalis Rakintzis. The first Greek entry without any Greek-language lyrics in it, it implores the narrator's lover to cheer him up by saying his password: sagapo (the transcription for the Greek word for "I love you").
It was performed fourth on the night, following Austria and preceding Spain. At the close of the voting, it finished in 17th place with 27 points. They were also the recipients of the Barbara Dex Award that year for their black, space-like uniforms.

Hey (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Every time you need my love (Love, love, love, love)
Before you enter in my world (World, world, world, world, world)
Give the password (Give the password, the password)
(The password, the password)
Hey (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
If you wanna get my love (Love, love, love, love)
If you pray for me and hope (Hope, hope, hope, hope, hope)
Give the password (Give the password, the password)
(The password, the password)
Say (Say, say), say the magic word
S’ agapo – S.A.G.A.P.O.
Say (Say, say), say the magic word
S’ agapo – S.A.G.A.P.O.
Say (Say, say), say the magic word
S’ agapo – S.A.G.A.P.O.
Say (say, say), say the magic word
S’ agapo – S.A.G.A.P.O.
Hey (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
When you see me down and sad (Sad, sad, sad, sad)
When I’m out of my mind (Mind, mind, mind, mind, mind)
Give the password (Give the password, the password)
(The password, the password)
Hey (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Baby, you’re the only one (One, one, one, one)
Who can turn me up or down (Down, down, down, down, down)
Give the password (Give the password, the password)
(The password, the password)
Say (Say, say), say the magic word
S’ agapo – S.A.G.A.P.O.
Say (Say, say), say the magic word
S’ agapo – S.A.G.A.P.O.
Say (Say, say), say the magic word
S’ agapo – S.A.G.A.P.O.
Say (say, say), say the magic word
S’ agapo – S.A.G.A.P.O.
