Foi Magia (English translation: "It Was Magic") was the Portuguese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004, performed in Portuguese by Sofia Vitória.
The song is an up-tempo number, with Vitória singing about how she felt when she first saw her lover, a feeling she describes as "magic" and otherwise impossible to explain.
As Portugal had not finished the 2003 Contest in the top 10, the song was performed in the semi-final. Here it was performed seventh (following Andorra's Marta Roure with Jugarem A Estimar-Nos and preceding Malta's Julie & Ludwig with On Again...Off Again). At the close of voting, it had received 38 points, placing 15th in a field of 22, thus failing to qualify for the final and requiring Portugal to qualify from the semi-final at the next Contest.
It was succeeded as Portuguese representative at the 2005 Contest by 2B with Amar
