On 22 February 2014, "Dancing in the Rain" performed by Lorenzo competed inMira quién va a Eurovisión, the national final organised byRadiotelevisión Española (RTVE) to select its song and performer for the59th edition of theEurovision Song Contest. The song won the competition, becoming theSpanish entrant –and Lorenzo the performer– for Eurovision.[1]
The official music video premiered on 14 March 2014. The video, directed by Paloma Zapata and choreographed by Myriam Benedited, was filmed in the formerFabra y Coats [es] factory, a 19th-century spinning mill inBarcelona. The video focuses on Lorenzo, who is accompanied by Italian dancer Giuseppe Di Bella, and includes underwater scenes. The video served to introduce the Eurovision version of the song, with additional verses in English.[2]
On 10 May 2014, the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest was held inB&W Hallerne inCopenhagen hosted by theDanish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) and broadcast live throughout the continent. Lorenzo performed "Dancing in the Rain" nineteenth on the evening.[3] As they noticed during rehearsals that the dress designed by the Spanish firm Anmargo that she was going to wear was not appropriate for the stage lights, she had to borrow a wedding dress from the Danish firm Karim Design.[4] She was accompanied by four off-stage backing vocalists: Mey Green, Sandra Borrego, Aiwinnie MyBaby, and Alana Sinkëy.[5]
At the close of voting, it had received 74 votes, placing tenth in a field of twenty-six songs. It received 12 points only fromAlbania.[6]
