'''2 Long''' was the [[Poland|Polish]] entry in the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2001]], performed in [[English language|English]] (the first time the Polish entry had not been performed monolingually in [[Polish language|Polish]]) by [[Piasek (singer)|Piasek]].

The song is an up-tempo number, influenced by [[urban music]]. Piasek sings from the perspective of a man whose lover is leaving him because he has been unfaithful towards her (he describes himself as "a faker"). As she prepares to do so, however, he confesses his true feelings and explains that "Life's too short, it would be a crime" if they did not remain together.

The song was performed eighteenth on the night (following [[Slovenia]]'s [[Nuša Derenda]] with [[Energy (song)|Energy]] and preceding [[Germany]]'s [[Michelle (singer)|Michelle]] with [[Wer Liebe Lebt]]). At the close of voting, it had received 11 points, placing 20th in a field of 23.

Prior to the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2002|2002 Contest]], the decision was taken to restrict entry to the best-performed countries of 2001, a group which did not include Poland. As a "Passive Participant" (a country broadcasting but not taking part in the Contest), Poland was re-admitted the following year. Thus, the song was succeeded as [[Poland in the Eurovision Song Contest|Polish representative]] at the [[Eurovision Song Contest 2003|2003 Contest]] by [[Ich Troje]] with [[Keine Grenzen-Żadnych granic]].
