Luxembourg Song Contest 2025 Participants and Songs
“Stronger”
This is a true family story. The song was written by Carmen Carbonell Suarez, the band’s singer, and the production and musical arrangement were handled, which brings us to the keyword family. They were created by Carmen and her little sister, none other than Naomie Ayé Vajdovics Suarez, last year’s LSC finalist.
This also convinced the other band members, who have been playing together for three years, to go in a different artistic direction with this song. One towards Eurovision.
Statement
“My sister is the most important person in the world to me. We feel the same way, we share the same emotions. And she has an immense talent.”
“Je danse”
It’s a song that was created at the very first ESC songwriting camp in this country, organized by Rockhal and Rocklab in September this year. The artists were mixed there purely by chance, but the dynamic around the four people involved in the creation of this song was simply immense, remembers Luzac.
In addition to the songwriter himself, the team included Norwegian Linda Dale (author of “The Code” sung by Nemo, last year’s winner), as well as the camp’s co-organizer and producer, Dutchman Alireza Baghdadchi, and not to forget LSC finalist and established musician in Luxembourg, Edsun.
Statement
“Je danse takes me out of my ‘comfort zone’, which is a very powerful new experience for me.”
“Human Eyes”
The song is the result of a long exchange between the young singer and the Swedish songwriters Mattias Skantze and Robin Larsson. The trio met during the LSC Auditions 2024 and have remained in touch to this day. With the song “Human Eyes”, which was released during this collaboration, the singer tried again at the LSC Auditions 2025. With success. Now it’s time to compete in the final on January 25th and pass.
Statement
“I told them about my experience with a very painful breakup and they were immediately excited to write a song with me that I totally recognized myself in.”
“Gambler’s Song”
One Last Time is also trying its hand at the Luxembourg Song Contest this year, with a significant difference. This time, the pop-rock band is bringing a song with its own signature. The song was written by singer Andrea Galleti, together with Jonathan Fersino and with the help of Albin H. Fredy Ljungqvist, who already had a hand in the song “Devil in the Detail”.
The new hit “Gambler’s Song” was partly created at a songwriter camp organized in Belgium by Samuel William Peter Ray.
Statement
“Gambler’s Song is a piece about our experience, with a lot of hope and motivation – with that we are putting everything we have into winning the ticket to Basel.”
“La Poupée Monte Le Son”
You could call it a meeting by detours. Laura met Julien Salvia (music) and Ludovic-Alexandre Vidal (lyrics) from Paris in Belgium.
A former singing teacher at IMEP in Namur, where Laura studied, mentioned his name when both musicians were looking for a performer for “La Poupée Monte Le Son”, a song inspired by France Gall’s “Poupée de Cire, Poupée de Son”. With this song, Luxembourg won Eurovision exactly 60 years ago.
Statement
“I was so excited about this project as a tribute to France Gall, especially because it’s a very different style from what I usually sing. I really like playing with the irony and provocation that are the basis of this song.”
“Ride”
It all started at a songwriting camp, where ZERO POINT FIVE were invited by some colleagues, the band One Last Time. And that’s where they met Norwegian producer Jonas Holteberg Jensen, after which completely different musical doors opened.
From the country sounds that ZERO POINT FIVE is known for in this country for creating a good atmosphere at festivals, they have now ventured into new territory. One can look forward to more pop sounds, without losing sight of their musical roots.
Statement
“This was the first co-writing experience with an outsider and it allowed us to write a song with the identity of ZERO POINT FIVE but in the colors of Eurovision ,” said singer Kiko Menichetti.
“NO THANK YOU”
The song is the result of a special meeting as part of the auditions for the Luxembourg Song Contest 2024. Many composers subsequently contacted the talented singer, but the choice ultimately fell on a collaboration with the Swedish duo Christoffer Jonsson and Johan Jämtberg.
After many changes, a trip to Sweden, all mixed with good chemistry between them, Rafa Ela is now back with a hit that is completely tailor-made.
Statement
“NO THANK YOU is a Latin pop song about the power and independence of women. And I can completely identify with that.”
