🇲🇹 Tonight: first semifinal of Malta Eurovision Song Contest

Picture by Nikolaj Thaning Rentzmann This year Denmark is represented by Søren Torpegaard Lund, one of the favorites to win the whole contest! With his song “Før Vi Går Hjem” Søren won the Danish national final Dansk Melodi Grand Prix. At the moment of writing, the song stand as third favorite in the bookies to win the Eurovision Song Contest 2026. Every now and than the singer also takes a look at the odds, but they don’t have effect on him in any way. Søren on Eurovision 2026 For Søren Eurovision feels like he’s at the peak of his carreer: “This is definitely the biggest thing I’m experiencing this far, which is absolutely amazing to me. I still can’t believe it’s happening!! But LET ME TELL YOU, it’s very much just the beginning. I’m already working on the next thing! I’m working on new music already, so you’ll find out. Then I’m working on mixing my acting career with my music career” Lund’s Eurovision Journey However his Eurovision adventure didn’t just start this year. Ever since Lund was a small child he was in awe by the magic of the song contests. “I do remember the junior Eurovision of 2001, I got it on a CD, and I was only 3-4 years old, and I remember thinking, wow these kids are on that big stage, how must that feel!”. In 2023 Lund took part in Dansk Melodi Grand Prix with “Lige Her”, but didn’t make it to the super final. Experience Over Results In the end Søren isn’t doing Eurovision for the results, but rather for the experience: “It would definitely mean a lot to have a good result. But my goal with entering this competition is never to think about the points of the result, it takes away from the fun, and to be in moment when I perform”The “Før Vi Går Hjem” singer of course wants to take Denmark as far in the show as possible.He added that “if I don’t get to the final, I’ll probably be a lil’ sad.” However thankfully Torpegaard thinks of himself as a potential winner, and with that mindset, it’s a great step towards to victory. Meaning of “Før Vi Går Hjem” The message of Søren Torpegaard Lunds Eurovision entry is: “this very human feeling of surrendering to the mistakes we all make, going back to a person over and over again, that we know is toxic, but it is also what makes us understand ourself, grow up, and live life to the fullest, letting go!” His musical inspirations for the song were the full popstar fantasy, like Troye Sivan and Danish artist Clara Sophie, who is one of the song writers of “Før Vi Går Hjem”. Søren will perform 10th in the Second Semi-Final. We hope you got to get to know him a little bit better, and read into the message behind his Eurovision 2026 entry “Før Vi Går Hjem”.
