The song is an up-tempo number dealing - as the title suggests - with Melsen eating an apple. Doing so reminds her that it is Spring, which causes her to wonder if she will find love during that season, or whether she will only find "the snake". She appears not to mind overmuch, singing that she is "not even twenty yet". Melsen also recorded the song in German (as "Komm, komm, komm"), English ("The Love Beat") and Italian ("Pom, pom, pom").

The song was performed eighth on the night (following France's Serge Lama with "Un jardin sur la terre" and preceding the United Kingdom's Clodagh Rodgers with "Jack In The Box"). At the close of voting, it had received 70 points, placing 13th in a field of 18.

It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1972 Contest by Vicky Leandros with "Après toi".

"Pomme, pomme, pomme" was covered in Finnish by Satu Markuksela as "Viettelyksen omena", in Slovene by Sonja Gabršček as "Jabolko", and in Swedish by Siw Malmkvist as "Ett Rött Äpple".

gollark: The computer controlling a draconic reactor failed, and a simultaneous configuration issue somehow resulted in the big explosion option being (re)enabled, so spawn was destroyed.
gollark: Oh, we had that on CodersNet.
gollark: I haven't destroyed MANY worlds, myself.
gollark: Alßo, just because it is not on the list does not mean it is not done to death.
