Out in the semi-finals – information about the song and the singer

The Swedish city of Malmö hosts the 68th Eurovision Song Contest. 37 countries will compete for the 2024 ESC title. We introduce the participants and their songs – here: Luna out Poland.

Polish ESC statistics

• ESC participation: 26 (including Malmö 2024)
• Biggest ESC success: 2nd place (1994)
• High score: 229 (2016)
• Lowest score: 10 (2015)

This is Luna

Behind the pseudonym Luna lies the 24-year-old singer Aleksandra Katarzyna Wielgomas from Warsaw. Polish media often describe their music as ‘cosmic pop’. It sounds whimsical, mysterious and atmospheric. Her single “Zgaś” was released in 2020 and was a great success in Poland. The song also uses sounds from space released by NASA.

That’s the song

Electropop the old fashioned way – that’s Luna’s “The Tower”. In 2020 she met the composer Michał “Fox” Król. This collaboration resulted in the song with which Poland presented itself at the ESC in Malmö. Catchy, danceable and crystal clear produced – perhaps just a little bit of variety is missing. In the end, it wasn’t enough to make progress. Poland will be eliminated in the first semi-final on Tuesday evening (May 7).

These are the lyrics

Luna – “The Tower”

Looking for a miracle

Waiting for the sun to catch me

I have to find a way back home

Alone, alone, alone

—

Hoping a star falls

Something I can make a wish about

Could it be that I’m the fool

But aren’t we all, all of us, all of us

—

Broken bodies

Scattered throughout my history

Lonely hours

Leads to my destiny

I’m the one who built the tower

I’m the one who has the power

So come on

Stand up, shout it louder

I’m the one who built the tower

—

Shines in the eyes of a tiger

Only I can find my future

Read between the lines

I draw my own, my own, my own

—

Running down the waterfall

Always tried to chase the rainbow

Never found a pot of gold

Below, below, below

—

Broken bodies

Scattered throughout my history

Lonely hours

Leads to my destiny

I’m the one who built the tower

I’m the one who has the power

So come on

Stand up, shout it louder

I’m the one who built the tower

—

I’m the one who built that

I’m the one who built that

I’m the one who built the tower

—

I’m the one who built that

I’m the one who built that

I’m the one who built the tower

—

Broken bodies

Scattered throughout my history

Lonely hours

Leads to my destiny

I’m the one who built the tower

I’m the one who has the power

So come on

Stand up, shout it louder

I’m the one who built the tower

—

I’m the one who built that

I’m the one who built that

I’m the one who built the tower

—

I’m the one who built that

I’m the one who built that

I’m the one who built the tower

—

I’m the one who built the tower

I’m the one who has the power

So come on

Stand up, shout it louder

I’m the one who built the tower
