Od Nas Zavisi (Macedonian: Од Нас Зависи, English: It Depends On Us) was FYR Macedonia's [1] entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002, performed in the Macedonian language by Karolina.
The song is a dramatic ballad, with Karolina musing on the subject of a lost love. She sings that any time at all can be paradise, but that making it so "depends on us".
It was intended for this song to have been performed in English on the Eurovision night, however when the song was being regestered with the EBU, is was put down that it woulds be performed in Macedonian, therefore this document had to be honoured.
The song was performed ninth on the night (following Estonia's Sahlene with Runaway and preceding Israel's Sarit Hadad with Nadlik Beyakhad Ner (Light A Candle)). At the close of voting, it had received 25 points, placing 19th in a field of 24.
Due to the poor result - FYR Macedonia's equal-worst finish - FYR Macedonia was ineligible to participate in the 2003 Contest, but were readmitted the following year. Hence, the song was succeeded as FYR Macedonian representative at the 2004 Contest by Toše Proeski with Life.
