The song was performed twelfth on the night, following Germany's Maxi & Chris Garden with "Lied für einen Freund" and preceding Denmark's Kirsten & Søren with "Ka' du se hva' jeg sa'?". At the close of voting, it had received no points, placing it last out of a field of 21.
The song is a ballad in which the singer likens the object of his affection to the Mona Lisa, a painting by Leonardo da Vinci, in that she is very mysterious but nonetheless entrancing. The song was recorded in German, French and English. Due to the song's poor performance, the English version was not released.
It was succeeded as Austrian representative at the 1989 Contest by Thomas Forstner singing "Nur ein Lied".
