The song was performed first on the night, preceding Switzerland's Peter, Sue and Marc with Djambo, Djambo. The performance consisted of the two male singers wearing black and white suits, and the two females wearing white and red jumpsuits with matching berets, standing still and singing with minor arm and leg choreography. The song's lyrics described the gently conflicted emotions of a man leaving his loved one in the morning as he goes to work. The song's final line provided a twist that the person in question was his three-year-old child.
