Als 't Om De Liefde Gaat (English translation: "When It's All About Love") was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1972, performed in Dutch by Sandra & Andres.
The song is a duet, with the singers making a series of attempts at chatting each other up. They explain their difficulties by saying that it is difficult enough to be honest in general life, let alone when one is "making a pass".
The song was performed eighteenth on the night (following Luxembourg's Vicky Leandros with Après Toi). At the close of voting, it had received 106 points, placing 4th in a field of 18.
It was succeeded as Dutch representative at the 1973 Contest by Ben Cramer with De Oude Muzikant.
