On 3 November 2009, it was announced that Darin would be participating in the Melodifestivalen 2010,[3][4] the Swedish show thatg determines the country's entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo, Norway.

Darin entered with the mid-tempo ballad "You're Out of My Life" written by Tony Nilsson and Henrik Janson who wrote Velvet's The Queen for the 2009 edition.

There was worry that Darin's song "You're Out of My Life" would be disqualified after it was incorrectly made available to purchase during the week after the semi-final.

A total of 54 downloads of the full studio version were made, making a #95 entry into the Swedish singles chart.
