The song is a ballad, with Del Medico describing how the days are when she and her lover are together and her lover loves her: "the sky laughs like my heart, when you love me dearly". She says that the world is always good for the lovers and belongs to them: "the world is wonderful, it can't be more beautiful".
The song was performed eleventh on the night, following the Belgium's Louis Neefs with "Jennifer Jennings" and preceding Norway's Kirsti Sparboe with "Oj, oj, oj, så glad jeg skal bli". By the close of voting, it had received 13 points, placing it in 5th place in a field of 16. However, the four countries ahead all tied for victory, so the song had the "second place" in a sense.
It was succeeded as the Swiss representative at the 1970 contest by Henri Dès with "Retour".
Del Medico released several versions in other languages: French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese.
