Belgium was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2011. Performing during the show in position 4, "With Love Baby" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Belgium placed eleventh out of the 19 participating countries in the semi-final with 53 points.
