The song was performed once by Östen Warnerbring and once by Ingrid Berggren at the national final, however SR decided that Malmkvist would represent Sweden, as she had been denied that the previous year.

In contrast to the previous year, where only members of the Swedish songwriters association SKAP [sv] could take part, the submission was open for everyone.

[2][3] As interval acts, Kari Sylwan performed a ballet dance to the music of "Over the rainbow", and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra played a medley of songs from previous Eurovision Song Contests, including "Nel blu dipinto di blu", "Dors mon amour", "Uh, jeg ville ønske, jeg var dig", and "Piove".

The previous year's winner Siw Malmkvist was selected to sing the entry at the Eurovision Song Contest in the aftermath of the final.

At the close of voting "Alla andra får varann" had received 4 points, placing Sweden joint 10th (with Denmark) of the 13 entries.
