When You Need Me (The Mullans song)
"When You Need Me" was the Irish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1999, performed in English by The Mullans.
The song is a ballad, sung from the perspective of a woman whose lover has ended their relationship. She explains that she realises that they had not connected and pleads with him for another chance, promising that "When you need me I'll be there".
The song was performed seventeenth on the night, following Portugal's Rui Bandeira with "Como tudo começou" and preceding Austria's Bobbie Singer with "Reflection". At the close of voting, it had received 18 points, placing 17th in a field of 23.
It was succeeded as Irish representative at the 2000 contest by Eamonn Toal with "Millennium of Love".
