Guys, the Dutch Eurovision song just dropped, and it might just be a winner

That’s right, everyone, it’s that time of year once again: EUROVISION — and the Dutch have just dropped what we reckon is a bonafide banger.

Whether you’re a full-blown, singing, dancing, costume-wearing fan or a casual watcher, there’s no avoiding the Eurovision fandom that will hit Europe (and the world) this May.

Ready to get pumped? Warm up your foot-tapping, neck-bobbing muscles for Mia Nicolai and Dion Cooper’s entry, ‘Burning Daylight’.

According to Cooper, the song is about “falling, making mistakes and then getting up again,” he said in a mini-documentary.

“But it’s also about accepting that we’re all human, experiencing pain and that we have to go through it.”

When can I watch the Netherlands rock it live?

The first Dutch semi-final will be held on May 9 on location in Liverpool, England. If they win, they’ll get a ticket to the final on May 13.

However, this wasn’t the original plan for the location. Ukraine should have had the honour of hosting this year after winning last year, but due to Russia’s invasion of the country, it was no longer possible.

  1. When it “dropped” I hope it didn’t break. Why don’t you use correct English? The song was RELEASED!
