The song was written by Viktor Rakonczai who represented Hungary at the Eurovision Song Contest 1997 as a member of V.I.P.

Csézy performed the song in the second Semi-final on 22 May 2008. It was performed fifteenth (following Georgia's Diana Gurtskaya with Peace Will Come and preceding Malta's Morena with Vodka). The song failed to secure a place in the final, finishing last with six points.

It was succeeded as Hungarian representative by " Dance With Me" performed by Zoli Ádok.
