We Will Rave
The name of this year’s Eurovision entry of Austria is “We Will Rave”. The song is written by well-known professionals in the music business with the likes of Anderz Wrethov, Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt, Julie Aagaard and Thomas Stengaard. Kaleen describes the song as very powerful, positive and uplifting; it is about the permanent motto of the contest “United by Music”, because by raving together, we can overcome our greatest differences. For Kaleen performing dance music is quite different from the music genres she usually takes on, so for her it is also a great challenge.

Kaleen was chosen by a professional jury and Eurovision fan clubs. 14 acts in total were in the race to represent Austria in the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest.
