The song is a dramatic ballad, with Kowalska asking a lover to tell her the reason for his coldness towards her. She refers to this reason as "my sin", and asks him to tell it to her "Only once/Before I lose you", claiming that if she knows this she will redouble her efforts to love him.

The song was performed twentieth on the night, following Iceland's Anna Mjöll with "Sjúbídú" and preceding Bosnia and Herzegovina's Amila Glamočak with "Za našu ljubav". At the close of voting, it had received 31 points, placing 15th in a field of 23.

The promotional video featured Kasia singing in a church, surrounded by candles

It was succeeded as Polish representative at the 1997 Contest by Anna Maria Jopek with "Ale jestem".
