With English verses and a refrain in Italian, "Tornerò" is a disco, pop, dance and rave song featuring Trăistariu using his higher vocal range.

The track won the Selecția Națională pre-selection show and represented Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, held in Athens, Greece.

[4] Writing for National Post, Sean Carrie compared "Tornerò" to the works of American singer Ricky Martin and Trinidadian-German performer Haddaway.

[7] The track was released for digital download on 3 July 2006 by CMC Entertainment through the iTunes Store, lasting three minutes,[8] and was later included on his eighth studio album Tornerò (2006).

[14] Including the single at number four in their list of "Eurovision [2006]: Top 10 Tips", BBC praised Trăistariu's vocals as "soaring", as well as the song as "the most contemporary offering [in the contest]".

[18][19] "Tornerò" received airplay in over thirty countries after its release,[20][21] and attained commercial success in over 20, including multiple European territories such as Greece.

[33] Trăistariu also won Artist of the Year and received a nomination in the Best Dance-Pop Song category at the 2007 Radio România Actualități Awards.

[36] The visual portrays the singer lip synching to "Tornerò" while walking in a hallway with dancers and other people, occasionally interacting with them and joining their activities.

[37] Trăistariu recorded a duet version of the song with Greek singer Tamta titled "Tornerò, Tromero",[38] while covers were done by artists including Greek recording artist Anna Vissi,[35] and Romanian singer Lora during Romanian television show Te cunosc de undeva!.

[20] Romanian-American singing-songwriting duo Indiggo, who placed seventh with their song "Be My Boyfriend", sparked controversy after demanding €100,000 from TVR for allegedly not being votable by fans due to continuously busy lines.

[42] In 2006, Romania automatically qualified to the final due to the top 11 result last year, where Trăistariu performed in 12th place, preceded by Macedonia and followed by Bosnia and Herzegovina.
