In the final the song received the top score of 12 points from three countries (Denmark, Sweden, Finland), and finished fourth overall with a total score of 191 points, Norway's highest placing in the contest since their last victory in 2009, and their sixth best result ever.

Since appearing on Eurovision, the song has charted on iTunes charts around Europe and the world, including Australia.


Composition


"I Feed You My Love" is an electronic and electropop[2] song written in B minor and set in common time.[3] The song has a sparse arrangement over lush strings and starts with a dark electroclash riff that contrasts with Berger’s delicate vocals. The introduction of drums halfway through the first verse and synthesized strings during the chorus help provide build. According to lyricist Karin Park, the song is "about having the courage and strength to do what you want".[4]

Reception


Commenting on Berger's interpretation of the song, Karin Park noted that "she does it amazingly well".[4] Ann Gripper from Daily Mirror wrote that Berger starts the song with "a Bjork-esque fragile icy burr—perfect for the ice queen being woken from the snow she sings of".[8] Michael Cragg from The Guardian described the song as "spectacular"[9] and Sam Lansky from popular online music blog Idolator wrote that the song is "aggressive and ferocious, with a chorus that's huge and loud... it's a gloriously pummeling pop track that's as weird as it is infectious".[10] At ESC Review the song has been described as the "most contemporary entry" in Eurovision 2013, following in the path of the similarly modern Loreen's "Euphoria".[11]
