We’ve started another week and it was time for Poland to reveal its representative – the official Eurovision YouTube channel was very secretive regarding the Polish entry, as TVP decided to reveal both artist and the song at once. It’s Luna’s time to shine with her anthemic song “The Tower”.
According to Luna, The Tower is more than just a song; it’s a declaration of independence and strength. Luna’s lyrics, penned alongside Fyfe and Max Cooke, speak to the universal desire for freedom from constraints and the courage to embrace one’s true self.
Accompanying Luna’s vocals is a music video directed by Maciej Zakliczyński. Through striking visuals and choreography by Igor Leonik, the video brings Luna’s message to life, offering viewers a glimpse into the journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
“The Tower is a statement of freedom and power. A way out of darkness and gloom. Abandoning ties, blocks, limitations, negative patterns and relationships. Tearing down the tower and stepping out into the world. The Tower shows the realization of one’s own strength, fullness and that limitations are our creation. The tower is the place or that state that we build ourselves. Power is always on our side. I’m the one who built the tower. I hope that The Tower will encourage us all to fight for ourselves, our own freedom, love and sense of worth. For being fully ourselves, without limitations.”
Luna, about her song “The Tower”
With each beat of “The Tower”, Luna invites listeners to join her on a journey of self-realization and empowerment. As she sings, “I’m the one who built the tower,” Luna asserts her strength and determination, inspiring listeners to break free from limitations.
The decision was made by a 5-person Competition Commission, consisting of notable figures such as Łukasz Pieter, the musical director of Radio ZET; Michał Hanczak, a music journalist at Radio Eska; Kasia Moś, a vocalist and Poland’s representative at Eurovision 2017; Konrad Szczęsny, a journalist at viva.pl and the President of the Association of Eurovision Song Contest Fans OGAE Polska; and Piotr Klatt, a music journalist associated with Radio Dla Nasze. After carefully evaluating all submitted songs, Luna’s “The Tower” emerged as the clear favorite, scoring 34 points.
In a closely contested competition, Justyna Steczkowska‘s “WITCH-ER Tarohoro” secured second place with 33 points, while third place was shared by Kayah and the Dagadana band‘s “Jesień – Tańcuj” and Marcin Maciejczak‘s “Midnight dreamer,” each receiving 23 points.
Luna’s song for Eurovision has garnered significant attention in Poland, quickly becoming a local sensation. Since the release of the music video less than a month ago, it has achieved over 700,000 views, solidifying its popularity among local audience.
Are you happy with Poland’s choice? Luna will compete in the first half of Semi Final 1 in Malmö!
Here is what the hosts of Building Bridges think of The Tower— Poland’s song for Eurovision 2024:
Jan: ★★★★☆
I’m really drawn to it; there’s something about anthemic songs that resonates with me deeply. The way Poland has taken a unique approach this year with “The Tower” is truly amazing. It embodies such strength and power, which feels particularly relevant and necessary in current times.
Sebi: ★★★☆☆
From all the submissions I’ve seen, I’m quite surprised that TVP chose this song. It’s sweet and well produced but it needs a very good live performance to stand out among the other pop songs in Malmö. But there’s definitely potential!
Dave: ★★★★☆
A very good song that could work on the radio all over Europe and even overseas. I hope TVP made sure that Luna has the voice and the stage presence to carry this song. If so, Poland could go very far in May!
