"Listen to Your Heartbeat" was the Swedish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2001 in Copenhagen, performed by the group Friends.
Prior to the Contest, it was hit with allegations of plagiarism for its apparent similarity to the 1996 Contest entry by Lisa del Bo of Belgium, which was denied by its writers Thomas G:son and Henrik Sethsson. This led to the writers of the Belgian entry threatening a trial, which was eventually settled with a payment from the Swedish delegation.
In spite of this, it finished in 5th place with 100 points.

I wanna know what you feel inside
Is something wrong? Why did you leave last night?
Is it all just a game?
Oh, tell me why we can’t be lovers
I do believe in the two of us
That you and me, we are the only ones
And we were meant to be true
So tell me why we can’t be lovers
How could I be such a fool
I thought I already knew it all
But I know I was totally wrong
Listen to your heartbeat, it will take you higher
Follow your emotions, I know you’ll get stronger
Listen to your heartbeat, the feeling will guide you
Hold on to devotion, I know it’s inside you
How will I know if you’re fooling me?
Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems to be
Like it’s all just a game
And I just want us to be lovers
We had it all in our hands
Just like those all happy ends
I still don’t know why, but we lost it somehow
Listen to your heartbeat, it will take you higher
Follow your emotions, I know you’ll get stronger
Listen to your heartbeat, the feeling will guide you
Hold on to devotion, I know it’s inside you
One more chance to make a try
Nothing left to do for you and I
Listen to your heartbeat, it will take you higher
Follow your emotions, I know you’ll get stronger
Listen to your heartbeat, the feeling will guide you
Hold on to devotion, I know it’s inside you
Listen to your heartbeat
