I found Neea on Spotify and have been listening to this constantly since it was dropped. Didn’t even realise it was a contender for Eurovision!! Go Neea!!! (Love from 🇬🇧)

[standa]

Excellent!!! Classic old school Euro-House. All the best! Greetings from Prague.

[romaricklinguer]

A good start for Finland ! Very good production, modern music, beautiful voice, charismatic girl, beautiful lyrics. Well done Finland ! From France <3

[alxaf]

Loved the Eurodance/EDM 2010's vibes, it reminds me of Cascada "Every Time We Touch".
Great vocal range and voice! Greetings from Belgium

[EurovisionwithJudeKennedy]

We are SO BACK!!!
I may not be videoing my reaction this year but OH WOW I AM EXCITED AND LOVING THIS SO FAR

[enricopaoletti]

I love so much the first '00s vibes. My god, this is AMAZING 😍

[BenjaminBLACKBURN-oo]

Masterpiece.This song is a banger. 12 points from France to Finland

[victoriaviger]

When I say I screamed in my car when I heard Finally I’m excited for the Eurovision season! Can’t wait to hear what else Finland gives us this year. Always quality 🙌🏼🎉🙌🏼

[helenjuliet]

OBSESSED!!! Love and best of luck from London!

[vojtaracek]

Fantastic!! I’m holding space for others but some countries would BEG to have a song like this in their selections

[onnenapina]

On kyl catchy ja radioystävällinen biisi, hyvä startti tälle UMK-kaudelle 👍

[YRSHKD]

Finland is Finlanding again, I'm so happy we have UMK.

[hannanelimarkka]

Great start to UMK! This will play in clubs this summer for sure. She has a killer voice as well. I hope the staging will deliver.

[adrianglodeanu]

Classic eurodance but contemporary, the beat is far away of being cheap. It's current it's 2025. Nice start for one of the best preselections :)

[sanna-kaisaniemi]

Ansaitsee todellakin viisupaikan. Ei löydy vastaavaa poppi kuningatarta Suomesta 💥 Ja mikä ääni ja lahjat. Käykääpä tutustumaan Neean muihin biiseihin ellette jo ole 💥💪

[ESCFlare]

That was so good. This is a CERTIFIED EURO BOP. 🇫🇮

[piercerobinson]

What a Euro Bop! Best of luck Finland from Ireland 🇮🇪🇫🇮

[SONE]

All I can say is QUEEN! I am so here for this! Love this song! 12 points from the UK!!!

[glitterkongen]

If the Finnish people vote this through, it has the potential to go all the way to the top in Eurovision! They need to think about what people from other countries want to hear as well, and this is exactly the kind of unique and powerful track that stands out. I haven’t heard anything like this in Eurovision since Loreen’s victory. This song could be a massive hit, especially at Pride parades, if it gets the right platform to shine. Finland, don’t miss this chance—this could make history. Will definitely be my most played song in Spotify this year. I know it already 🎉🕺🪩
