Filmed at an empty National Theatre Bucharest, the visual shows Roxen and several dancers performing contemporary dance to portray the story of a person who manages to gain control over their surrounding fears.

Presenting a stage show similar to the music video of the song, Roxen failed to progress from the semi-finals, placing 12th in a field of 16 with 85 points, marking Romania's third non-qualification in the contest.

[2] "Amnesia" was released for digital download and streaming in various territories on 4 March 2021 by Warner Music Poland,[3] whom Roxen's label Global Records had partnered with for a promotional campaign for the singer in July 2020.

[5] Musically, "Amnesia" has been described as a "dark" and "melancholic" ballad that has a similar "vulnerab[le]" and "delicate" nature to "Alcohol You", though marked a departure from Roxen's fellow dance-pop releases.

[5][6] Incorporating what Percy saw as a "modern" and "youthful" sound, "Amnesia" builds into a "thumping finale" after its "soulful" verses and "powerful" mid-tempo beat-driven refrain.

[5][6][7] Conversely, however, Boris Meersman of ESCUnited saw "Amnesia" as "poor" and noted its forgettable melody; he further criticized Roxen's diction and the use of "warbled" Auto-Tune on their vocals.

[14][15] Filmed at an empty National Theatre Bucharest and directed by Bogdan Păun, the visual portrays Roxen sporting black outfits while performing choreography with contemporary dance artists dressed in white.

[5] In accordance with the European Broadcasting Union's (EBU) prevention plan against a COVID-19-cancellation of the Eurovision Song Contest 2021, each participant was required to record a live-on-tape performance of their entry in a location of their choice prior to the event; the tape was to be broadcast during Eurovision in case the artist was unable to travel to the contest's venue to perform their song due to pandemic restrictions or related reasons.

[33] Romania was scheduled for technical rehearsals at Rotterdam Ahoy on 9 and 12 May 2021,[34] during which Roxen wore an oversized hoodie, joggers and boots;[35] this outfit was ultimately changed in favour of a dress with a floral print for the semi-final performance.

As the performance progresses, the singer walks to the B-stage and the show's staging transitions from being smoke-filled and having a dark color scheme to showcasing "radiating warm oranges, yellows and pinks" and a "hopeful" sunrise on the screen.

Multiple observers criticized Roxen's vocal delivery and pronunciation,[8][35][41] with Oliver Adams of Wiwibloggs questioning whether their heavy movement as part of the choreography was the reason behind the former.
