At the annual Melodifestivalen on Saturday night Loreen was selected to be Sweden’s representative at this year’s Eurovision with her tune Tattoo, and it’s been tipped as a song that could see her take the crown for a second time.

Loreen’s 2012 hit Euphoria is one of the most popular Eurovision hits of all time that found both chart success and a popularity in nightclubs. The singer first rose to prominence as a contestant on the television show Swedish Idol. 

Tattoo was created by a collective of songwriters and producers including Jimmy Jansen and Cazzi Opeia, as well as Thomas Gustafsson and Peter Bostöm who wrote Euphoria. 

Take a listen to the tune. 

Australia will be represented by Perth synth-metal band Voyager with their tune Promise. It’s the first time Australia will be represented by a band. All our previous entries have been solo singers. The last two outings of the song competition have been won by bands including Italy’s Måneskin and Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra.

Semi-final 1 will take place on 9th May, and Semi-final 2 will follow on 11th May, the Grand Finale will take place on 13th May.
