The song was performed eighteenth on the night, following Portugal's Armando Gama with "Esta balada que te dou" and preceding Belgium's Pas de Deux with "Rendez-vous". At the close of voting, it had received 53 points, placing 9th in a field of 20 entries.
The song is an up-tempo number, in which the band sings about being without the object of their affections and likens this condition to being in a hurricane.
It was succeeded as Austrian representative in the 1984 contest by Anita singing "Einfach weg".
