Performed by The Mullans in 1999, 'When you need me' served as the Irish song for the Eurovision Song Contest. The track blends pop and folk elements, featuring a distinctive accordion-driven melody that became a signature of the competition that year. While the song did not secure a top position in the final voting, it remains a notable example of mid-1990s Eurodance and folk-pop fusion within the contest's discography. The recording captures the specific atmospheric style often associated with Irish submissions during the late 1990s, characterized by acoustic instrumentation layered with electronic production. It stands as a documented song in the official Eurovision catalogue from that year.
