The song is a ballad, in which Modugno tells his lover how he feels about her. He expresses his amazement at the depth of his own feelings, with the title phrase being used frequently.
The song was performed fourteenth on the night (following Monaco's Téréza with Bien plus fort and preceding France's Dominique Walter with Chez nous). At the close of voting, it had received the dreaded nul points (zero), for the first time in Italian Eurovision history, placing 17th (equal last) in a field of 18.
It was succeeded as Italian representative at the 1967 Contest by Claudio Villa with "Non andare più lontano".
