We've Got The World was the Irish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2003, performed in English by Mickey Harte.
The song is a moderately up-tempo number, with Harte singing to his lover. He tells her that "We've got the world tonight/Let's hold on together", and explains that she is the reason that his world turns on its axis.
The song was performed third on the night (following Austria's Alf Poier with Weil Der Mensch Zählt and preceding Turkey's Sertab Erener with Everyway That I Can). At the close of voting, it had received 53 points, placing 11th in a field of 26. As Spain (one of the "Big Four") had placed in the top ten, this was enough to qualify Ireland for the final at the next Contest.
It was succeeded as Irish representative at the 2004 Contest by Chris Doran with If My World Stopped Turning.
