"Open Your Heart" was the Icelandic entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2003, performed in English by Birgitta. It is a dramatic ballad, set off by guitar chords. Birgitta sings to her lover, asking him to "open his heart, show her the pain" and that this will "show me who you are". She also reminds him that "I'm not gonna run away" when he tells him what he has to. In other words, she will offer him whatever support is required. One of Birgitta's backing singers, Regína Ósk, would go on to represent Iceland in the 2008 contest as part of Euroband.
