This Saturday, January 25, Luxembourg will decide its Eurovision 2025 representative during the grand final of the Luxembourg Song Contest 2025 (LSC). For the second consecutive year since its triumphant return to the Eurovision stage in 2024—after a 30-year hiatus—the Grand Duchy is hosting its national selection.
The seven finalists, revealed in November, have undergone extensive preparation under the guidance of Danish singer and Eurovision alum Susanne Georgi and vocal coach Francesca Aaen. RTL has aimed to elevate their stage performances while fostering camaraderie among the competitors. After months of training, the artists are ready to present their entries live at Rockhal to determine who will succeed TALI and her 2024 anthem “Fighter” as Luxembourg’s Eurovision ambassador.

The Luxembourg Song Contest 2025 features seven talented artists, performing in the following order:
- Rafa Ela – No Thank You
- Rhythmic Soulwave – Stronger
- Luzac – Je danse
- One Last Time – Gambler’s Song
- MÄNA – Human Eyes
- Laura Thorn – La poupée monte le son
- Zero Point Five – Ride
Meet the Artists and Their Songs
Rafa Ela – “No Thank You”
No Thank You came to life after Rafa Ela connected with Swedish composers Christoffer Jonsson and Johan Jämtbergduring the LSC 2024 auditions. The collaboration, developed over creative exchanges and a trip to Sweden, resulted in a Latin pop anthem celebrating empowerment and independence.
Zero Point Five – “Ride”
“Ride” emerged during a songwriting camp hosted by fellow contestants One Last Time, where Zero Point Five collaborated with Norwegian producer Jonas Holteberg Jensen. Known for their country roots, the group ventures into pop while retaining their signature energy.
Laura Thorn – “La poupée monte le son”
This track, a nod to France Gall’s Eurovision-winning Poupée de cire, poupée de son, features lyrics by Ludovic-Alexandre Vidal and composition by Julien Salvia. The collaboration began in Belgium, where Laura’s vocal coach recommended her for this ironic and provocative song.

One Last Time – “Gambler’s Song”
The pop-rock group returns to the LSC with a track penned by lead singer Andrea Galleti, Jonathan Fersino, and Swedish composer Albin H. Fredy Ljungqvist. Produced at a songwriting camp, the song delivers a hopeful message inspired by the group’s journey.
MÄNA – “Human Eyes”
The youngest contestant, MÄNA, collaborated with Swedish composers Mattias Skantze and Robin Larsson to create Human Eyes. Inspired by a painful breakup, the deeply personal song resonates with the singer’s own story.
Luzac – “Je danse”
Crafted during Rockhal’s inaugural Eurovision songwriting camp, Je danse takes Luzac out of his comfort zone. Notable contributors include Linda Dale, the mind behind Nemo’s Eurovision-winning The Code, and Alireza Baghdadchi, co-organizer of the camp.
Rhythmic Soulwave – “Stronger”
Written by group member Carmen Carbonell Suárez and her sister Naomi, Stronger evolved into a collaborative piece reflecting the band’s essence. Naomi, a finalist in last year’s LSC, helped shape its emotional core.

Voting Mechanics
The winner will be determined by a 50/50 voting split between an international jury and the public televote. Each juror awards points Eurovision-style (12, 10, 8–1), distributing a total of 336 points. The televote will also allocate 336 points proportionally based on voting percentages.
This year, the superfinal round has been removed, with the winner selected after one round of voting. Fans can vote online for €0.99 per vote (up to 20 votes per person). Voting opens with the first performance and closes 20 minutes after the last.
