The song was performed fourth on the night, following Austria's Peter Horten with "Warum es hunderttausend Sterne gibt" and preceding Portugal's Eduardo Nascimento with "O vento mudou". At the close of voting, it had received 20 points, and finished third in a field of 17.
The song is a ballad, with Cordier singing to an absent lover. She explains that it is raining where she is, but "the weather must be good over there" where he is. She also tells him that she does not much care for where she is overall, regardless of the climate.
It was succeeded as French representative at the 1968 contest by Isabelle Aubret with "La source".
