 As the scores of the 1956 Contest have not been made public, it is impossible to tell how many points it received or where it placed.The song is in the "chanson" style, and features Altéry reminiscing about a former lover, hoping that her song will distract her from the pain of not having him anymore.The song was accompanied at the 1956 contest by Dany Dauberson with "Il est là" and was succeeded as French representative at the 1957 contest by Paule Desjardins with "La belle amour".
