The final tally showed an overwhelming consensus from both the international jury and the audience, with Eva Mora of Spain among the many spokespersons who shared in the triumph. This win marked a significant chapter in Eurovision history, aligning with the long-running tradition of Sweden’s strong showings at Melodifestivalen, the national selection process staged by SVT that has consistently produced acts that perform well on the Eurovision stage.
Carefully crafted by songwriters Jimmy Jansson, Jimmy Thörnfeldt, Thomas G:son, Moa Carlebecker, Peter Boström, and Loreen herself, Tattoo is a ballad about love and the struggles that can accompany a relationship.

Lyrics of Tattoo, the winning song of Eurovision 2023
I do not want to go
But baby, we both know
this is not our time
time to say goodbye
until we meet again
’Cause it’s not the end
one day will come
When will we find our way
Playing violins and weeping angels
I’ll be there when the stars line up
No, I don’t care at all
’Cause all I want is to be loved
And all I care about is you
You stuck to me like a tattoo
No, I don’t care about the pain
I’ll go through the fire and through the rain
Just to be closer to you
You stuck to me like a tattoo
I’m letting my hair down
I take it calmly
you took my heart
don’t lose it dude
this is all i have
Playing violins and weeping angels
I’ll be there when the stars line up
No, I don’t care at all
’Cause all I want is to be loved
And all I care about is you
You stuck to me like a tattoo
No, I don’t care about the pain
I’ll go through the fire and through the rain
Just to be closer to you
You stuck to me like a tattoo
No, I don’t care at all
’Cause all I want is to be loved
And all I care about is you
You stuck to me like a tattoo
I don’t care about the pain
I’ll go through the fire and through the rain
Just to be closer to you
You stuck to me like a tattoo
All I care about is love
NO
All I care about is love
You stuck to me like a tattoo
