Finland: Listen to Laura’s song for UMK 2021!

Some minutes ago, the Finnish broadcaster YLE released the fourth song of UMK 2021, the country’s national final for Eurovision 2021. It is Laura’s song, “Play”.

Play is an irresistible combination of country and pop music. Its lyrics focus on a relationship inside and outside where one person is bored with constantly forgiving the other.

I want my fans to open their hearts to me and find the strength and support they need to move on in their lives and relationships.
