At the running order draw which took place on 15 November 2015, Serbia were drawn to open the show on 21 November 2015, preceding.

Final
The song begins with Lena staring intensely down the camera as she describes the world we live in, with spotlights on her as the stage lights up in red and blue. A red puff of some from the back wall brings in the chorus, and as the song draws its close the back lights change to warmer red and yellow colours.

Lena performed the song with light fog around her on the floor of the stage, and a wind machine adding to the drama as the fog moved around the performance area.

At the end of the voting, Serbia placed 7th with 79 points.

Voting
The voting during the final consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member were released one month after the final.

Following the release of the full split voting by the EBU after the conclusion of the competition, it was revealed that Serbia had placed 8th with the public televote and 5th with the jury vote. In the public vote, Serbia scored 53 points, while with the jury vote, Serbia scored 73 points.
