Uuden Musikiin Kilpailu (UMK) 2025 has come to an end and the Finnish representative for the 69th Eurovision Song Contest in Basel has been chosen. The winner has been decided by an international jury (25%) and the Finnish televote (75%).

Erika Vikman won the televote by a large margin with her song “Ich komme” and came close second behind Goldielocks in the jury vote, making her the winner of UMK 2025.

Erika is a very familiar face in the Finnish Eurovision scene, as she finished second in UMK 2020 with “Cicciolina” and performed as an interval act in UMK 2021 and UMK 2024.

This year, it is finally her time to represent Finland at the Eurovision Song Contest, with her provocative pop banger “Ich komme”, which despite of its German title, is entirely in Finnish.
