Speaking about their return to Junior Eurovision, a CyBC press release read: “Cyprus promises an exciting return to the Junior Eurovision Song contest, believing in the talent of Sophia and of course the writing skills of Alex Panayi (Cyprus 1995, 2000) and Stavros Stavrou who have written a number of hits together the past two years, including two musicals for young viewers and their families that have been a huge success in Cyprus.”
