After a disappointing 21st placing in the 2001 contest, Ireland was relegated from the 2002 contest. For the 2003 contest in Riga, Ireland abandoned the "National Song Contest" format, and set up a reality show called You're A Star. The winner was Mickey Joe Harte, with the song We've Got The World.

At Eurovision

At the contest, Harte performed 3rd on the night and came joint 11th with Germany, guaranteeing Ireland a place in the final of the 2004 contest.
