The song was composed as a pop ballad by Janusz Kruk, the leader of the band, and the lyrics were written by Marek Dutkiewicz, a popular Polish lyricist and journalist.
In 1978, "Windą do nieba" was released on 2 Plus 1's fourth LP, Teatr na drodze, and as the B-side on the "Ding-dong" single,[2] both by Polskie Nagrania Muza.
[3] "Windą do nieba" remains one of the most widely known songs in the band's repertoire, as well as the so-called "evergreen", since it has become deeply rooted in the history of Polish popular music.
The song has been covered by numerous artists, including Mandaryna, who recorded a dance version for her 2005 album Mandarynkowy sen and subsequently sang the track at her infamous performance at the Sopot Festival.
The clip pictures a traditional wedding somewhere in rural Poland, with Elżbieta Dmoch and Janusz Kruk performing the song while dancing among others guests.
