Nina Buzaladze, Georgia’s representative at Eurovision 2024, released her song “Firefighter” on all major streaming platforms as well as the video.
“Firefighter,” written by Darko Dimitrov and Ada Skitka, fulfills Buzaladze’s earlier promise of providing Georgia with a dance track for Eurovision 2024. The video, directed by Zaza Orashvili features Buzaladze features a choreography filled performance that is sure to light up the arena in Malmo.
“Firefighter” is written by Darko Dimitrov and Ada Skitka. Eurovision fans will be familiar with Dimitrov, with the Macedonian behind several high profile recent entries since his first entry, writing and producing Elena Risteska’s “Ninanajna” (FYR Macedonia, 2006).
Dimitrov’s best work so far is for his native North Macedonia, with Tamara Todevska’s “Proud” coming in 7th at Eurovision 2019. “Proud” won the jury vote, and is North Macedonia’s best performance at Eurovision to date. Dimitrov’s most recent entry was Vladana’s “Breathe” for North Macedonia, which failed to qualify for the Grand Final of Eurovision 2022.
Buzaladze is a seasoned international singing competitor, having performed in Georgia’s Got Talent, Dancing With The Stars, and The Voice of Turkey. In 2022, Buzaladze appeared on American Idol, coming in 12th, earning some infamy for her opting to sleep instead of rehearsing with her duet partner Carina DeAngelo.
Buzaladze has been tasked with getting Georgia back to the Eurovision Grand Final, something the country has not done since 2016, when Nika Kocharov and Young Georgian Lolitaz came in 20th with “Midnight Gold.”
Since its debut in 2007, Georgia’s best performance at the Contest has been 9th place, which Sofia Nizharadze and Eldrine achieved with “Shine” and “One More Day,” respectively.
Georgia is scheduled to perform in the second half of Semi-Final 2 on Thursday, May 9, 2024.
