"Ik heb zorgen" was chosen at the Belgian national final on 25 February. Neefs would represent Belgium again in 1969. Before Eurovision National final Qualification for the national final was via a series of nine heats which took the form of elimination rounds, with the eight songs left standing to go forward to the final. The final took place on 25 February 1967 at the Amerikaans Theater in Brussels, hosted by Jan Theys. In the event only seven songs took part, as Neefs had qualified two songs but decided to jettison "Zij was zo mooi" in order not to run the risk of splitting his vote (although given the ultimate margin of victory of "Ik heb zorgen", this would have been academic).

At least four different versions of the human "wraparound" segments were produced separately to air in different countries.
