/0 Comments/in , , /by

After the announcement of her participation in this year’s national final of Norway, Melodi Grand Prix 2022, Lily Löwe talks exclusively to EurovisionFun and Stella Gialetzi.

Lily Löwe is very happy with with the reception her song receives from the public, as this song is her debut in the Norway’s national final, MGP 2022!

“Bad Baby” is about the awareness, regarding who someone is in real life, in contrast to how good of a person we thought he is. When we wrote the song, we realized that it can be an “earworm” to whoever listens to it. 

Talking about her stage appearance in the semifinal, she said that there will be a prime presence of fire, however something will happen that she foresees the public will like, and she is really excited about it.

I will have my band with me on stage. All three of them are really good and we’ll have the time of our lives. I feel really lucky and blessed that they will be with me.

From the other competing songs, the one she stands out, is that of Steffen Jakobsen, a country song that happens to be with her on yhe same semi-final. Her favorite Norwegian participation in the contest is Alexander Rybak (2009) while from the contest in general she likes Måneskin  (Italy 2021), Conchita Wurst (Austria 2014) and Lordi (Finland 2006)

I wish that in future contests, there will be more rock songs by womem.

Just before the end of the interview, Lily Löwe offered a part of her song, acapella.

Watch the whole interview Lily Löwe, in the following video:
