I Admit was the Romania
n entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004

by Sanda
.
The song is an up-tempo number, with Sanda confessing her feelings to her lover. She sings "I admit I fell for you so badly" and makes other similar admissions, while also telling him how good it feels to be in love.
For the performance, Sanda wore a revealing black outfit, which prompted Australia
n commentator Des Mangan to describe her choice of costume as "going with the 'less clothes, more hair' approach". Mention was also made of her background as a teacher, with Mangan suggesting that he would not mind being taught by her. The references, in fact, were false - as Sanda is a qualified teacher but gave up that career shortly after qualifying.
As Romania had ended the 2003 Contest
in the top 10, the song was pre-qualified for the final. Here, it was performed twenty-third (following Turkey
's Athena
with For Real
and preceding Sweden
's Lena Philipsson
with It Hurts). At the close of voting, it had received 18 points, placing 18th in a field of 24 and relegating Romania to the semi-final at its next Contest appearance.
