Seems like there is a slight revamp. Sounds different from the studio version on youtube.

idk...where do people come up with "he" lol
I keep reading that this is what a lot of you guys hear.
I clearly hear "you"
and "hashtag to find ya" ( iread somewhere, maybe here, that people tend to hear smth else there as well)
maybe because she has that classic Slavic accent that I'm used to hearing here in US. (fyi. Slavs don't speak the way Hollywood's American actors think they speak lol it's a lot softer with very open vowels. Unless they don't care. But if they try, since Russian sounds are so harsh, people tend to overcompensate and soften them way too much)
now that the song is available on apple music I added it to my playlist. And when it came on I started moving to the rhythm (not the best idea while driving lol But the "worst" in this way for me is Soldi. That one is an accident waiting to happen LOL).
It sounds fun next to a lot of slower more somber songs.
ETA: just went and tried to hear "he"... I guess... I had to try and convince my brain to hear "is he gonna like it" and I kinda did. but when I stopped trying it went back to "yes you're gonna like it"

It's on there too now! Let's get Michela from Malta petitioned to follow suit!
oh yay! Found it on Apple too. It's not in the official Eurovision playlist yet, but radio edition (3 m 20 sec) is there.

I hope that this is the dark horse of the year, I get vague Bulgaria 2016 vibes from it although Zena is obviously a much less experienced performer, it has that same fun bounce and I feel that with the right care and attention to the camera angles and choreography, it could really shine on screen. Hoping for a qualification for dear
