The song was performed fourteenth on the night (following Ireland's Tina Reynolds with "Cross Your Heart" and preceding Switzerland's Piera Martell with "Mein Ruf nach dir"). At the close of voting, it had received 3 points, placing 14th in a field of 17.

The song is a duet, with both singers describing a brief romance over summer. They explain to each other that while each still has feelings for the other, the relationship must end. Cindy & Bert also recorded the song in English, as "Our Summersong of Love".

It was succeeded as the German representative at the 1975 Contest by Joy Fleming with "Ein Lied kann eine Brücke sein".

gollark: I mean, on the one hand, you might be slightly less happy due to wearing a helmet, but on the other hand you're less likely to die horribly.
gollark: Safety things mean you're likely to be less hurt by mistakes, thus ENHANCING learning.
gollark: It would be like something which electrocutes you whenever you make a compile error. You don't want to make compile errors in the first place, and making them worse is not very helpful.
gollark: If you have some accident and get injured horribly, you probably won't *learn* much, just... get horribly injured, you don't want the accident anyway.
