Vrede was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1993 in Millstreet performed by Ruth Jacott. The song is an up-tempo number, with musical influences from the urban styles rising to prominence at the time. Among these influences is the first appearance of DJ scratching (in the instrumental break) in Contest history. The song was performed twentieth on the night, following the United Kingdom and preceding Croatia. At the close of voting, it finished in sixth place with 92 points.
