Catherine was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1969, performed in French by Romuald (who had previously represented Monaco and would represent that country again).

The song is a ballad, in which Romuald reminisces about a girl he went to kindergarten with called Catherine. He sings that he was already in love with her then, and while they have lost touch since that time, he retains his feelings for her. The song ends with his question as to whether she has found love herself, and it is unclear whether he wants her to have done so.

The song was performed second on the night (following Yugoslavia's Ivan & M's with Pozdrav Svijetu and preceding Spain's Salomé with Vivo Cantando). At the close of voting, it had received 7 points, placing 11th in a field of 16.

It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1970 Contest by David Alexandre Winter with Je Suis Tombé Du Ciel.
