Miért kell, hogy elmenj?

"Miért kell, hogy elmenj?" (English translation: "Why Do You Have To Go?") was the Hungarian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest of 1997, and was performed in Hungarian by V.I.P..

The song was the nineteenth performed on the night of the contest (following Malta's Debbie Scerri with Let Me Fly and preceding Russia's Alla Pugacheva with Primadonna). At the close of voting, it received 39 points, placing 12th in a field of 25.

The song is a ballad performed in the style of boy bands of the time, with the band asking a woman why she needs to leave a relationship. The promise made is that if she stays, the relationship will be different.

The song's performance was succeeded by Charlie, the Hungarian representative at the 1998 contest, who sang "A holnap már nem lesz szomorú".
