As Lithuania had not qualified for the final at the 2004 Contest, the song was performed in the semi-final. Here, it was performed second (following Austria's Global Kryner with "Y así" and preceding Portugal's 2B with "Amar"). At the close of voting, it had received 17 points, placing 25th (last) in a field of 25 - thus requiring Lithuania to qualify through the semi-final at their next Contest appearance. "Little by Little" remained the highest scoring entry to have finished last in a Eurovision Song Contest semi-final until 2012 Contest when Slovak entry "Don't Close Your Eyes" performed by Max Jason Mai finished last in the field of 18 countries scoring with 22 points.
