The video was posted on ERT’s official Instagram account, dedicated to the Eurovision competition.

“This is the first time I am talking about Eurovision this year. And why? The song we send this year is so special and it really represents us. The voice of Claudia, the sound, the melody and the lyrics of the song talk about things that concern us, and that is what we have to emphasize in every public appearance in such competitions. Eurovision we know where it is based anymore, perhaps waiting for something other than entries. But we have to send what really represents us. Good luck, Claudia »said the great artist.
