 As the scoreboard for this Contest has never been made public, it is impossible to say how well the song did.Lyrically, the song is in the "chanson" style popular at the early Contests, with Dauberson singing about the difficulties she has in trying to forget a former lover.The song was accompanied at the 1956 contest by Mathé Altéry with "Le temps perdu" and was succeeded as French representative at the 1957 contest by Paule Desjardins with "La belle amour".
