Jessica Mauboy will represent Australia at Eurovision once again this year with a brand new song ‘We Got Love’.
“I love the Eurovision Song Contest. I have since I was a little girl watching it with the family in Darwin,” Jessica said in a statement. “I wanted to write a song that captured that instinctive sense of joy of how a great song can change the darkest of moods into happiness. ‘#We Got Love’ is also about how music can lift the human spirit. You can always rise above in the hardest times with something as simple as a great song.
“Eurovision, to me, is people brought together through a real love of music and all the joy that music can bring. I can’t wait to perform this song live in Portugal and see it connect with a global audience at such a special time.”
Jessica Mauboy was the first Australian selected for Eurovision back in 2014. “Jessica is an outstanding Australian artist who will no doubt capture the world’s attention and the hearts of Europe, with the brilliant song she has written with DNA Songs, ‘#We Got Love’, says Denis Handlin, Chairman and CEO of Sony Australia and New Zealand.
“Being selected back in 2014 to be the first to showcase Australian talent at Eurovision highlighted her amazing abilities as a world class performer. For all of us at Sony Music, we are delighted to be partnering with Michael Ebeid and SBS along with Paul Clarke from Blink TV again this year to provide Jessica with this wonderful opportunity to once again showcase her incredible talent at Eurovision.”
