It was Norway's entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 and is included on her second studio album Kinanda (2011).

The song was chosen using a mix of televoting, jury votes and an audience vote at the Oslo Spektrum during the national Eurovision pre-selection show Melodi Grand Prix on 12 February 2011.

It was made available for digital download a day before its initial performance in the third semi-final.

[3] The lyrics describe how "a journey of a million miles starts with one single step".

The song is based upon actual events as Stella once complained to her grandmother that things did not move fast enough, gaining the reply Haba haba, Hujaza Kibaba, which is Swahili for "little by little fills the measure", equivalent to the proverb "slow and steady wins the race".
