On 23 February 2001, "Dile que la quiero" performed by an unknown David Civera competed in the Template:Esccnty organized by Script error: No such module "Lang". (TVE) to select its song and performer for the Template:Escyr of the Eurovision Song Contest. The song won the competition so it became the Template:Esccnty, and Civera the performer, for Eurovision.[2] For the song to participate in the contest, it was necessary to shorten its introduction to fit it into three minutes. TVE filmed a promo video with Civera singing the song on location in Seville that was distributed to the other participant broadcasters.[3]
On 12 May 2001, the Eurovision Song Contest was held at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen hosted by the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR), and broadcast live throughout the continent. Civera performed "Dile que la quiero" thirteenth on the night, following Template:Esccnty's "Without Your Love" by Gary O'Shaughnessy and preceding Template:Esccnty's "Je n'ai que mon âme" by Natasha St-Pier.[4][5] Because the suitcase with the outfit designed by Jean Paul Gaultier that Civera was going to wear was lost and never recovered, he had to wear the Zara outfit intended for rehearsals.[6]
At the close of voting, it had received 76 points, placing sixth in a field of twenty-three.[7] The song was succeeded as Spanish entry at the Template:Escyr by "Europe's Living a Celebration" by Rosa.[8] Spain did not surpass the sixth place of "Dile que la quiero" for the following twenty-one years, until "SloMo" placed third in Template:Escyr.[9]
