The song is about real historical person from 16th century - Veronika Desinićka. She was the first woman in Slovenia accused of being a witch and murdered by drowning on the order of count Herman of Celje who happened to be her father in law.
I am from Slovenia and our songs are usually really bad because for some reason artists are obsessed with copying American artists.. so I'm really happy when some original artists come onstage that are not scared to 'just' be Slovenes and true to themselves
Slovenia usually picks their representatives through a national selection - 2024 is the second year in the last 10 where their act is selected internally - the first occasion was in 2021, but this was because the contest was cancelled due to COVID in 2020, they just sent the person who won the selection before the cancelled contest. Fun fact is that Raiven actually tried representing Slovenia 3 times in the past - in 2016 (Ćrno-bel), in 2017 (Zažarim) and 2019 (Kaos) (You should check them out, outstanding performances!!). She always finished in the top 3, but never won. So excited to see her perform in Sweden!
You can find live version but only the acustic with piano .. write veronika DORA in youtube.. raiven i think she will wait to eurovision for full show she prepair for us.. hi from Slovenija
Countries that have done/will do National Selections: Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Czechia, Germany, Luxembourg, Italy, Albania, Malta, San Marino, Serbia, Croatia, Moldova and Ukraine. Countries that have chosen/will chose through internal selection: France, United Kingdom, Belgium, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Slovenia Greece, Cyprus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Australia. *Answering to your question about how internal selection works. There's two ways: 1. The artist gets approached by their country's broadcaster and they decide to accept or decline the invitation or 2. The broadcaster oppens a submission with a deadline where artist can send their songs and the one which is more suitable according to the broadcaster will be chosen and will be representing their country. In rare cases, countries will use a mix of both. For example, Israel this year have made a national show to chose only the artist, but the song will be internally selected and given to her by the Israeli broadcaster.
Yes we did’t, but song and video is art! And the song has a lot of meaning. It is talking about women named Veronika, who was first accused of witchcraft in Slovenia and drown in the river because of love. And the song is talking about all of women, who still drowning in life because of sexism.

Deseniška

Croatia still didn't elect the song...
@@damasapu What part of my comment implies that Croatia has chosen a song?
@@alexandru4193 Agree! My apologize!
Thank you for such a sincere reaction for our Raiven.
Hi Clevy
Like France Slimane , Raiven or UK and so on... Slovenian performer has not been choosen by nationals show selection.
