The song was performed eighth on the night (following Norway's Kirsti Sparboe with "Karusell" and preceding Monaco's Marjorie Noël with "Va dire à l'amour"). At the close of voting, it had received zero points, placing 15th (equal last) in a field of 18.

The song features Marke promising her lover that she will do a number of things for him in Spring, including buying him whatever he wants. She sings that this will happen "when it is your holiday", which implies that he is in the military or another line of work which requires long absences. Marke also recorded a French-language version of the song under the title "Si peu de chose".

It was succeeded as Belgian representative at the 1966 Contest by Tonia performing "Un peu de poivre, un peu de sel".

gollark: Also, mobile networks are very high speed now (and have surprisingly good coverage here).

gollark: Computers existing has also resulted in *tons* of stuff becoming more efficient and automated. Also frequently stupid things like IoT.
gollark: Another important area which seems to have improved a lot "recently" is genetic modification and sequencing.
