The release date result 16.06.2023 (Label Number 19687120686 Columbia/Sony), at least for this version of the song.

If there is an old version but isn't with both singers, this new version song entry seems allowed.

 

 

@Erigert can you confirm this fact?

I confirm that! This is a remake of an old song released in June 2023. The original song didnt include both singers and differs a lot from this one.

I don't know if you boys will like k-pop 

No idea but I do know it'll be cool to have South Korea in the contest

Assuming South Korea enters, how long ago would it be since we've had three (!) new nations?   @OlympicIRL

Its the same version as original, even singer is the same, they just make new video

The Netherlands will be represented by a song which, if everything goes according to plan in the next two years, will be one of the two last songs a certain Totallympian will play in her earphones during the last bit of warmup before finally making her Olympic debut in Cortina d'Ampezzo 2026  

 

 SERA - Head Held High

 

 

Poured my heart into a crowd
Didn't lift me up, just pulled me down
Now I'm dancing on my own (hmm)
Fingertips are getting numb
Overthinking everything I've done
No more numbers in my phone

 

Oh, I used to think that they were right
On my side, they wouldn't lie
So done with that
D-done with that
Talking shit behind my back
Build a castle made of glass
So done with that
(D-done with that)

 

I'm a fire burning on
I do what the hell I want
Middle finger to the sky
With my head held high
I am fearless, I am strong
Watch me rise along the dawn
Ain't no stopping me this time
Got my head held high

 

I was born to be alive
No more crying here tonight
I will never be this young (hmm)
Kill the darkness in my mind
Grind the blade and raise the knife
'Cause I've only just begun

 

Oh, I used to think that they were right
On my side, they wouldn't lie
So done with that
D-done with that
Talking shit behind my back
Build a castle made of glass
So done with that
(D-done with that)

 

I'm a fire burning on
I do what the hell I want
Middle finger to the sky
With my head held high
I am fearless, I am strong
Watch me rise along the dawn
Ain't no stopping me this time
Got my head held high

 

Used to think that they were right
On my side, they wouldn't lie
(I'm done with that)
(I'm done with that) oh, yeah, I'm

 

I'm a fire burning on
I do what the hell I want
Middle finger to the sky
With my head held high
I am fearless, I am strong
Watch me rise along the dawn
Ain't no stopping me this time
Got my head -

 

I'm a fire burning on
I do what the hell I want
Middle finger to the sky
With my head held high
I am fearless, I am strong
Watch me rise along the dawn
Ain't no stopping me this time
Got my head held high

Hi @Erigert, welcome to the contest, it is a pleasure to have Albania here for the first time

 

About the song, it must be a brand new (original) song. Since this song was released a few years ago, you will need to choose a different song. We have another contest later in the year (Open contest) where we can choose older songs and you may select this song when that contest is opened. However for this contest, the Annual edition, you must find a new song that was released since Jan 1 2023. I’m sorry about that. Is there another song from 2023 that you can choose?

La La Love You & Samuraï - El principio de algo

 

 

Lyrics (Spanish):

Spoiler

Hola otra vez
¿Qué le vamos a hacer?
Si es que siempre que te veo
Solo pienso joder
Que te diría de todo
De todo y no digo nada
Que se ha quedado un buen día
Ya ves tú qué chorrada
Si no tengo el valor
Para soltarlo a la cara
¿Cómo te explico yo a ti?
Que solo intento decir
Que por ti de repente
La cabeza me va a más de 220
Y solo hablo de ti
Me lo dice la gente
Y no lo puedo evitar
Que solo intento explicar
Si no lo has entendido
Que me muero por ti
Desde que te he conocido
Solo puedo dormir
Cuando duermo contigo
Y solo quiero gritar
Pero tal vez
Si me callo es mejor
Que no sé si es demasiado
Para mi corazón
Que el muy cabrón
Se ha colgado de ti
Y parece que solo
Que solo a ti te hace caso
Solo late a tu antojo
Ten cuidado cariño
Tienes magia en los ojos
Y me puedo morir
Y me puedo morir
Si me miras así
Que solo intento decir
Que por ti de repente
La cabeza me va a más de 220
Y solo hablo de ti
Me lo dice la gente
Y no lo puedo evitar
Que solo intento explicar
Si no lo has entendido
Que me muero por ti
Desde que te he conocido
Y voy con el corazón
Dentro de la garganta
Y solo quiero gritar
Que no me gustas, me encantas
Que solo intento decir
Que por ti de repente
La cabeza me va a más de 220
Y solo hablo de ti
Me lo dice la gente
Y no lo puedo evitar
Que solo intento explicar
Si no lo has entendido
Que me muero por ti
Desde que te he conocido
Y no te puedo engañar
Ya no tiene remedio
No me gustas, que no
Que no me encantas, te quiero

Ok then! I read somewhere that you could include remakes of old songs with the condition that the remake song should have been released during 2023. Anyway it's fine! I'm posting another song.

Sorry for the confusion. The rule is that if it is a copy then the original song must also have been released in 2023. This is only a rule for the Annual edition because we want brand new music. For example if a British artist produced a copy of Bohemian Rhapsody, it wouldn’t be eligible for Annual because the song isn’t original. Anyway thanks for understanding and looking forward to your first participation and hopefully the first of many. It’s a fun contest and hope you will get involved in all the fun discussion we have before and especially on the day of the final
