Germany was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1984 with the song "Aufrecht geh'n", composed by Michael Reinecke, with lyrics by Michael Kunze, and performed by Mary Roos. The German participating broadcaster on behalf of ARD, Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR), selected their entry through a national final. Roos had previously represented Germany in 1972, where she had finished third.
The song is a power ballad, with Roos bidding a former lover goodbye at the end of a relationship. She tells herself to "walk tall" and tells him that she will not be waiting for him if he comes back - as she assumes he will. Roos also recorded the song in English and French, then entitled "I'll Walk Tall" and "Du blues et du bleu" respectively.
