Belarus competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2004. Performing during the show in position 2, "My Galileo" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Belarus placed nineteenth out of the 22 participating countries in the semi-final with 10 points.
