The song tells a story of a boy who decides to make a stand to try to save the planet, gets universally ignored, but continues to persevere.[2] Both the lyrics and music are by the singer himself. It is the first single from his debut album Sunday Songs.
As Finland did not qualify for the final in last year's contest, this song was performed in the first semi-final. Here, it was performed tenth, following Eldrine from Georgia with "One More Day" and preceding Malta's Glen Vella with One Life. Oskar is accompanied by his own guitar.
