Austria: “Wasted Love” Set for Release on March 6

Austria’s national broadcaster, ORF, has confirmed that the country’s Eurovision 2025 entry, “Wasted Love”, will be officially released on March 6.

The song, performed by JJ, is expected to make its debut on the radio show Ö3-Wecker. A day before the release, a special press event will be held at the Vienna State Opera, where JJ will be formally introduced to the media.

Earlier reports indicated that seven songs were considered for Austria’s Eurovision selection, including two tracks by Philip Piller and Dominic “Dodo” Muhrer, who previously represented the country in 2015 as part of The Makemakes.

“Wasted Love” was chosen from Austria’s first-ever songwriting camp, dedicated to creating potential Eurovision entries. The final decision was made by three juries:

• A 30-member panel of Austrian and international music professionals
• A 30-member Eurovision fan jury from five different OGAE clubs
• ORF’s Eurovision editorial team

This marks Austria’s 58th participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. In 2024, the country was represented by Kaleen with “We Will Rave”, finishing in 24th place with 24 points.
