The production features electronic elements blended with a melodic vocal performance. "Ootasime" received positive reception in Estonia, becoming a popular track and contributing to Elina Born's growing recognition as a prominent artist in the Estonian music scene. The song's success in Eesti Laul highlighted its appeal to the Estonian public and its potential as an international competitor.
