He wrote "Gimme" and the band recorded it in English, Greek –as "Δεν μπορώ"–,[2] and Spanish –as "Dame"–.

A few seconds after the lead singer Constantinos Christoforou began singing, a technical hitch led to show a caption bearing the words 'the ugly duckling' –it was the postcard meant to be shown before the United Kingdom's performance–.

[6] "Gimme" was included in the band's third studio album Έχω Τόσα Να Σου Πω released in May 2002.
