This song is “a delightful mix between Bruno Mars and Elvis that will ‘lift’ Europe,” said Alexandra Redde-Amiel, head of the French delegation at Eurovision and variety director of France Télévisions, in a press release. .
“I am very proud and honored to represent France with my song, which comes from both the pop and rock universe that I have always loved!” Said the boy, who assures that he will do his best to make the colors of France shine. .
