Oliver was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1979, performed in Norwegian by Anita Skorgan.
The song is a moderately up-tempo number, with Skorgan addressing a former lover (with whom she sings she broke up four weeks ago) who she sees in a disco. She tells him that if she happens to walk past him, she will ask him for a dance, because she believes that he misses her and she is prepared to give him another chance.
The song was performed sixteenth on the night (following Sweden's Ted Gärdestad with Satellit and preceding the United Kingdom's Black Lace with Mary Ann). At the close of voting, it had received 57 points, placing 11th in a field of 19.
It was succeeded as Norwegian representative at the 1980 Contest by Sverre Kjelsberg & Mattis Hætta with Sámiid Ædnan.
