"It Hurts" is a song recorded by Swedish singer Lena Philipsson. It was written by Thomas "Orup" Eriksson and produced by Anders Hansson for Philipsson's studio album Det gör ont en stund på natten men inget på dan (2004). It is the best known as the winning song of Melodifestivalen 2004, where it was performed in Swedish as "Det gör ont" (Swedish pronunciation: [deː jœːr ˈʊnːt]; "It Hurts"), and as Sweden's entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004, where it finished in fifth place with 170 points.

Melodifestivalen

Philipsson had previously entered Melodifestivalen, the Swedish national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest, in 1986, 1987 and 1988, finishing in second, fifth and second place, respectively. She also competed in 1991 and in 1999 as a songwriter.

In 2004, Philipsson entered Melodifestivalen for the fourth time as a performer, with "Det gör ont", written by Orup. She first performed in the semi-final four at the Malmömässan in Malmö and qualified for the final with a total of 134,189 votes. Philipsson then went on to win the final at the Globen in Stockholm, having received most points from both the jury and the televote.^[1]

Eurovision Song Contest

Since Sweden had placed fifth in the Eurovision Song Contest 2003, Philipsson qualified directly to the final of the 2004 contest, held in Istanbul, Turkey. She performed at the 24th position—the last in the final—and eventually placed fifth with 170 points. Philipsson performed "It Hurts", the English-language version of the song, at Eurovision.^[2]
