Singer-songwriter Rosa Linn will represent Armenia in Turin.
Rosa Linn was born and raised in Vanadzor, Armenia. She began playing the piano at the age of six. In 2013, she participated in Armenian national selection for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest with the song “Gitem”.
Rosa Linn started her professional musical career by collaborating with US-based record label Nvak Collective, founded by Armenian-American singer and songwriter Tamar Kaprelian. In September 2021, Linn released her debut single “King” in collaboration with American singer Kiiara. She made her television debut performance of the song during the morning show on Public Television Company of Armenia in November 2021.
In her own words, Rosa says:
From the outside looking in, the odds seemed like they were against me – an unknown girl from a small town in Armenia. But the power of manifestation is real when it is combined with hard work; persistence; and just putting oneself out there. I’m excited to let people into my inner-world through my music.
On March 11 2022, Rosa Linn was officially announced as the representative of the country by Armenian Broadcaster AMPTV. Her Eurovision entry titled “Snap” was released on March 19 along with its music video. The song was written by Linn, Tamar Kaprelian, Larzz Principato, Jeremy Dusoulet, Allie Crystal and Courtney Harrell. Linn will perform “Snap” on May 10 during the first semi-final of the contest.
Lyrics of Snap
It’s 4 am
I can’t turn my head off
Wishin’ these memories would fade
They never do
Turns out people lie
They say, “Just snap your fingers”
As if it was really that easy for me to get over you
I just need time
Snapping one, two
Where are you?
You’re still in my heart
Snapping three, four
Don’t need you here anymore
Get out of my heart
‘Cause I might snap
I’m writing a song
Said, “This is the last one”
How many last songs are left?
I’m losing count
Since June twenty-second
My heart’s been on fire
I was spending my nights in the ring
Tryna put it out
So I’m snapping one, two
Where are you?
You’re still in my heart
Snapping three, four
Don’t need you here anymore
Get out of my heart
‘Cause I might snap
Oh-oh-oh-ooh
‘Cause I might snap
Oh-oh-oh-ooh
And if one more person says, “You should get over it”
Oh, I might stop talking to people before I snap, snap, snap
Oh, I might stop talking to people before I snap
Snapping one, two
Where are you? (Where are you?)
You’re still in my heart (Still in my heart)
Snapping three, four
Don’t need you here anymore (Need you here anymore)
Get out of my heart
‘Cause I might snap
Oh-oh-oh-ooh (Snap)
‘Cause I might snap
Oh-oh-oh-ooh (Snap)
Get out of my heart
Oh-oh-oh-ooh
‘Cause I might snap
Oh-oh-oh-ooh (Get out of my heart, get out of my)
‘Cause I might snap
