"Make My Day" was the Macedonian entry in the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest, performed in English by Martin Vučić.
The song is an up-tempo number, with Vučić telling his lover that he is tired of being mistreated by her ("You just try to make me cry") and that he is prepared to end the relationship over this. He tells her that she should "Try to play another way/Or I will find another love" and that she can "Take it all" if he ends the relationship.
Unusually for such a song, the performance was quite static. Vučić and his two male backing singers wore jackets, t-shirts and jeans and only moved slightly during the chorus - waving their fingers in time to the music. The three female dancers wore short floral dresses and were slightly more mobile than this.
As FYR Macedonia had not finished in the top 10 in the 2004 Contest, the song was performed in the semi-final. Here, it was performed seventeenth, following Finland's Geir Rönning with "Why?" and preceding Andorra's Marian van de Wal with "La mirada interior". At the close of voting, it had received 97 points, placing 9th in a field of 25 and qualifying for the final.
In the final, the song was performed fifteenth, following Sweden's Martin Stenmarck with "Las Vegas" and preceding the Ukraine's Greenjolly with "Razom Nas Bahato". At the close of voting, it had received 52 points, placing 17th in a field of 24 and returning FYR Macedonia to the semi-final at their next Contest appearance.
It was succeeded as Macedonian representative at the 2006 contest by Elena Risteska with "Ninanajna".

Make My Day
by: Labi SiffrePretty little girl Pretty little girl in a blue dress Pretty little girl in a blue dress playing in the sand Make my day, smile for me
Sun in the sky Sun in the blue sky Sun in the blue sky above my head Make my day, shine for me
Why is today, a day like any other day sadder than yesterday? Minutes or hours separate me from yesterday's man with a grin Whatever happened to him?
Butterfly, flying by, how could you ever know? You and your mind haven't the time to think about things that you do How I wish I was like you
