Farid has big shoes to fill, since debuting in 2008 Azerbaijan always ended up in the Top 10 including a victory in 2011.

Next time I run out of sleeping pills I listen to this song. Let me guess, written by a Swedish composer?

Johnny Logan won with HOLD ME NOW, so maybe more than 25 years later Farid could have a winner again with a song with a similar title.
