    So basically the backing vocalists represent women before, women without rights whose only function is to serve and not think (which is represented by the spray and visors) and Samanta Tīna is a liberated happy woman. ❤ from Croatia🇭🇷

    The song is about female empowerment and body positivity. She critiques how men see women as maids (thus the back vocalists being dressed as cleaning ladies ) and sexual objects.
    Yes, the song is batshit crazy and ultra aggressive which is why a lot of people are turned off by this song, but in a year with a lot of ballads like 2020, I think it will stand out.

    The song is about women power, she says that women are doing so much but they will be "Still Breathing" even if they are doing so much good.

    The backing vocalist were slightly ahead of their time with the head gear and cleaning sprays. They obviously knew what was coming

    The song is about female empowerment. Here are the lyrics so you can check it out again! :)
    I will keep on going
    I will keep on running
    Running till I reach the end
    Strong enough to take it
    I am gonna make it
    Destiny is in my hands
    Thought I'd never get up
    Thought I'm gonna give up
    Lost in my way
    Many time between
    But I'm still breathing
    I'm still breathing
    Nothing to regret
    Never looking back
    I will keep on going
    I will keep on running
    Running till I reach the end
    Strong enough to take it
    I am gonna make it
    Destiny is in my hands
    Life, life's go on (Let the life go on)
    I grow strong (So can I get strong)
    Life, life's go on (Let the life go on)
    But I grow strong
    Every day I wake up
    Trying to get higher
    Be a better woman
    Working even harder
    I'm still breathing
    I'm still breathing
    Listening to my heart
    Ready for the start
    I will keep on going
    I will keep on running
    Running till I reach the end
    Strong enough to take it
    I am gonna make it
    Destiny is in my hands
    Life, life's go on (Let the life go on)
    I grow strong (So can I get strong)
    Life, life's go on (Let the life go on)
    But I grow strong
    Reaching for the stars
    I'm knowing getting closer
    Life is music
    I am a composer
    My dreams become so real with
    All the love I'm feeling
    I'm still breathing
    I'm still breathing
    I will keep on going
    I will keep on running
    Running till I reach the end
    I will keep on going
    I will keep on running
    Running till I reach the end
    Life, life
    I will keep on going
    I will keep on running
    Running till I reach the end
    Strong enough to take it
    I am gonna make it
    Destiny is in my hands
    Have a great day anyway!

    Hahahah your reactions are the best!!😂❤ Her song is about women empowerment and the backing vocalists represent every woman in the world who cleans but is still breathing under all this pressure. I love the performance and I think she will do very well. Can you react to Albania and Ukraine??❤

    MEANING OF THE SONG- Samanta has said publicly that her song is an ode to women who are held to unrealistically high standards. They’re meant to be beautiful at all times, while also being perfect mothers and devoted wives - all the while working or chasing their dreams. It’s about the relentlessness of having to do it all and the fight to say, “I’m still breathing” despite the endless struggle. This is a song of female empowerment that, more broadly, empowers everyone.

    The only issue I have with her voice is her diction because I can't understand her even though she is singing in English. I understand English isn't her first lanauge but still if you're going to sing in English you need to pronounce it right otherwise the performance is flawless. Also thank you for reacting to Eurovision songs

    I agree with you Georgina. This performance is way "too much". Trying too hard, with too many gimmicks. Next I was waiting for her to start flying in the air or jump on a giant chandelier, as clearly they are desperate for the performance to get attention - even if it doesn't make much sense to the viewers. The singer has a terrific voice and good stage presence, though, so props to her!
