Klavdia, Greece’s representative for Eurovision 2025, recently appeared on the late-night talk show The 2night Show hosted by Grigoris Arnaoutoglou on ANT1.
During the interview, the young singer discussed her decision to participate in the prestigious competition and revealed insights about her song, Asteromata.
Klavdia’s Revelation About Asteromata and Euro vision
The singer shared her experience since winning the National Final, noting, “From the day I won the National Final, everything changed. I received so much support and love from the people, and everyone embraced me. I’m truly grateful for this. For any artist, there’s nothing more beautiful than being loved and supported.”
Klavdia also explained the creative process behind the song, revealing, “At first, we weren’t planning to send a song to Eurovision. But as we got more into the process, a friend of mine messaged me, saying ‘Don’t be afraid of the Greek lyrics, they’re loved in Europe.’ This gave me something to think about. We tried making the second verse and chorus in English, but we didn’t like it. It didn’t fit well with the music—it felt off!”
She went on to highlight the appreciation for the Greek language: “I haven’t seen many comments about the lyrics, but I did see one that said, ‘I’m happy to hear the Greek language because it’s so melodic.’”
Reflecting on the tradition of non-English entries winning Eurovision, she added, “In 2007, Serbia won with Molitva, which was in Serbian. Similarly, Maneskin won with their song in Italian, and the Portuguese entry was in Portuguese, and it was an amazing ballad.”
A Song About Separation
When discussing the theme of Asteromata, Klavdia shared, “The song is about separation in any form it might take. Whether it’s leaving your homeland for a better future or saying goodbye to a loved one. I’ve noticed that people relate to the song based on their own experiences.”
Unfortunately, she mentioned that the song’s relevance is due to its reflection of events from the past. “Sadly, the song is very relevant because it speaks about things that have happened in the past. The lament is a dialogue between a mother and Asteromata,” she explained.
Greece and Cyprus in Eurovision 2025
It’s also important to note that Greece and Cyprus will again compete in separate semi-finals this year. Klavdia will compete in the second semi-final on 15 May, while Theo Evan will represent Cyprus in the first semi-final two days earlier. According to the European Broadcasting Union’s schedule, Greece will perform in position #7 in the second semi-final, while Cyprus will close the first semi-final in position #15.
