"Only Teardrops" was composed by Danish songwriters Lise Cabble, Julia Fabrin Jakobsen, and Thomas Stengaard specifically for submission to Dansk Melodi Grand Prix (DMGP), Denmark's national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2013. The collaboration leveraged Cabble's established experience in Eurovision songwriting, having previously co-authored Denmark's 1995 entry "Fra Mols til Skagen" (5th place) and 2011 entry "New Tomorrow" (5th place), alongside Fabrin's emerging talent as a frequent co-writer with Cabble, noted for their strong creative chemistry.

Reception and analysis

Critical reviews

"Only Teardrops" received generally favorable assessments from music critics, who praised its melodic craftsmanship and blend of folk and pop elements, though reviews often contextualized it within the Eurovision framework rather than as standalone . In a 2023 ranking of all 69 Eurovision winners by The Guardian, the song placed 23rd, with Alexis Petridis noting its "melodically tight" quality akin to hits from "blue-chip songwriters," but critiquing the "unfortunate preponderance of a penny whistle" as naff and indicative of contest-specific tropes. The Independent's 2025 ranking from worst to best positioned it 13th, describing it as "a great pop song with consistently strong melodies throughout," highlighting the flute motif as "probably the best use of traditional folk elements" amid broader trends, while acknowledging similarities to Ellie Goulding's style.
  • NME* included it among 12 standout Eurovision entries "that aren't rubbish," signaling approval without detailed analysis. Coverage in outlets like The Wall Street Journal framed it as a "folksy ballad," aligning with the folk-pop descriptors in more analytical pieces. Standalone reviews beyond contest retrospectives remain scarce, reflecting the track's primary association with the 2013 Eurovision victory.

Public and fan responses

"Only Teardrops" garnered significant public approval during the final on May 18, where it secured Denmark's victory with 281 points, reflecting strong televoter endorsement alongside jury votes. The noted that the song won the hearts of both televoters and jurists, highlighting its broad appeal in uniting audiences across participating nations. Among Eurovision enthusiasts, fan ratings on specialized platforms were overwhelmingly positive, with users on Eurovisionworld assigning an average score of 4.9 out of 5 based on 3,029 reviews, underscoring its enduring popularity within the community. The Wiwi Jury, a panel of Eurovision fans, described it as a strong, worthy winner likely to resonate across markets due to its polished elements and Emmelie de Forest's engaging performance. Similarly, it ranked second in WatchMojo's list of top Eurovision songs, praised for its catchy melody and emotional delivery. Criticism from some fans centered on its perceived lack of originality, with descriptions of it as a "Eurovision-by-numbers" entry that felt generic and unlikely to sustain success beyond the contest. Discussions on forums like have labeled it an "average winner" in a relatively weak year, contributing to views of de Forest as a "forgotten" recent victor despite the triumph, often overshadowed by more polarizing or innovative entries. These sentiments attribute its post-contest fade to limited artistic evolution rather than outright rejection.

Controversies

Uniform attire backlash

In the Danish national final, Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, held on 23 February 2013, backup drummers accompanying Emmelie de Forest's performance of "Only Teardrops" wore black uniforms with arm patches resembling the sig runes used by the Nazi (SS). The attire originated from the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR)'s costume department, where it had been employed in a World War II-themed television series, but wardrobe staff overlooked the historical parallels to regalia. Public and media scrutiny arose promptly after the broadcast, highlighting sensitivities in —occupied by from 1940 to 1945—toward symbols evoking that era. DR head of Janne Sørensen apologized, describing as an "oversight" with no intentional political messaging, and committed to modifying the outfits by blurring or removing the arm stripes to prevent escalation at the in Malmö. Sociologist René Karpantschof attributed the incident to rather than ideology, noting Danish cultural aversion to Nazi imagery but a tendency toward absent malice. For the Eurovision semi-final and final on 14 and 18 May 2013, respectively, the drummers appeared in revised, neutral attire without the contested elements, averting further during the competition. Observers suggested that generational shifts contributed to muted outrage, with younger viewing such symbols as remote historical artifacts rather than active provocations. The episode underscored logistical challenges in sourcing performance costumes for international events amid heightened awareness of totalitarian .

Post-release issues

Accusations of emerged shortly after "Only Teardrops" won the on May 18, 2013, with comparisons drawn to "I Surrender," a 2002 track by the Dutch boy band K-otic. Critics pointed to similarities in the melody and rhythmic structure between the two songs, prompting Dutch broadcaster NOS to the Danish entry as plagiarized. Eurovision fans and media outlets amplified the debate through online comparisons and videos, questioning the originality of the winning composition penned by Lise Cabble, Julia Fabrin Jakobsen, and Thomas Stengaard. The controversy gained traction in the , where "I Surrender" had charted moderately, leading some journalists to argue the resemblance extended beyond coincidence to potential direct influence. However, defenders noted that both tracks employed common pop elements like motifs and four-chord progressions, which are prevalent in the genre and do not inherently indicate . No lawsuits or formal investigations were pursued by K-otic's representatives or holders, and the Danish delegation dismissed the claims as unsubstantiated. The allegations faded without resolution or impact on the song's commercial trajectory, though they contributed to broader discussions on in Eurovision entries. Subsequent analyses, including fan polls and music blogs, have viewed the similarities as inspirational overlaps rather than , aligning with the contest's history of occasional post-win scrutiny.

Legacy

Cultural influence

"Only Teardrops" blended pop with folk elements, notably through Celtic-inspired melodies derived from co-writer Julia Jakobsen's Scottish heritage, which media reports credited with adding distinctive ethnic texture to Denmark's Eurovision entry. This fusion highlighted Danish cultural self-confidence on an international stage, as noted in contemporary analyses of the performance's appeal. The song garnered covers from Eurovision-affiliated artists, including an acoustic version by Norwegian group in 2019 and a rendition by Armenia's 2013 entrant in 2014, reflecting its traction within the contest's performer network. Global fan engagement persisted, exemplified by coordinated sing-alongs of the track during the 2019 Eurovision semi-final promotions. Empirical studies on Eurovision outcomes, including Denmark's win, found weak associations between higher contest rankings and marginal improvements in national (adjusted of 1.04 per 10-place gain) and suicide rates (beta = -0.30 per 100,000 per 10-place gain), though no significant direct effect from the victory itself.

Long-term impact on artist and genre

Following her Eurovision victory on May 18, 2013, Emmelie de Forest's debut album Only Teardrops, released on May 6, 2013, via Universal Music , achieved commercial success in her home market, topping the Danish Albums Chart and earning platinum certification for sales exceeding 20,000 units. The win provided an initial international platform, with the single charting in over 20 European countries, peaking at number 22 on the UK Singles Chart and number 4 in , but sustained global breakthrough proved elusive as follow-up singles like "Rainmaker" (October 2014) failed to replicate the momentum. De Forest transitioned to an independent label, Cosmos Records, by 2014, releasing her second album History on February 9, 2018, which explored more introspective pop-soul themes but received limited chart impact, reflecting a shift toward artistic control over commercial pressures common among Eurovision alumni. Her output slowed, with sporadic singles such as "Hopscotch" in August 2015—filmed in Rome to showcase stylistic evolution from folk-pop—and no full album until Into the Moon on April 25, 2025, indicating a career marked by creative persistence amid industry challenges rather than enduring stardom. This trajectory aligns with patterns observed in many Eurovision winners, where initial hype often yields to niche sustainability without broader pop dominance. On the genre front, "Only Teardrops"—a flute-driven folk-pop ballad incorporating Celtic-inspired instrumentation—highlighted a blend of ethnic folk elements with accessible pop melodies, earning praise for its cross-cultural appeal that bridged Eastern and Western tastes during the 2013 contest. However, it exerted minimal transformative influence on broader pop or folk genres, as evidenced by the absence of widespread emulation in subsequent mainstream releases; instead, its legacy resides within Eurovision circles, where it exemplifies a brief vogue for acoustic, narrative-driven entries amid dominant electronic pop trends, without spawning notable subgenre shifts or imitators in commercial music.
