The one I sing about no longer lets itself be done", referring to an opposite approach to Gall's song.[3] In an interview with ESCBubble, Thorn further said, "I love the fact that there's this connection with France's song, especially because it won Eurovision exactly 60 years ago, so I thought that's such a great idea to really honor Luxembourg and its history with the Eurovision Song Contest".[4] Eurovision Song Contest 2025Luxembourg Song Contest 2025The Luxembourg Song Contest 2025 was organised by RTL Lëtzebuerg to select its entry for that year's Eurovision Song Contest.
