The Danish participating broadcaster, Danmarks Radio (DR), organised the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1988 in order to select its entry for the contest. This was the last of three Eurovision appearances for the duo. Their Eurovision performance is noted for the fact that Kirsten was heavily and very visibly pregnant at the time.
