The song is an up-tempo number, with Welter explaining that she wants to be free and comparing this freedom to various things including kites and young children. The title comes from the chorus, where she sings that I want to be as free/As thoughts can be". Welter and Kontinent also recorded the song in English and French, as "So Free" and "Au vent des libertés" respectively.

The song was performed fourteenth on the night (following Switzerland's Daisy Auvray with "Mister Music Man" and preceding Austria's Tony Wegas with "Zusammen geh'n"). At the close of voting, it had received 10 points (all from Malta), placing 21st in a field of 23.

It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1993 contest by Modern Times with "Donne-moi une chance".
