 The song is a nostalgic ballad, with di Bari singing to a woman about her childhood, which she gave up by taking a lover at a very young age; and while this action, being a passage into adulthood, made her appear "cool" before her more innocent peers and transformed her into a self-assured young woman, she did in fact forsake what was - or could have been - "the best time" of her life.The song was performed twelfth on the night of the Eurovision Song Contest (following Austria's Milestones with "Falter im Wind" and preceding Yugoslavia's Tereza Kesovija with "Muzika i ti").At the close of voting, it had received 92 points, placing it 6th in a field of 18.
