It has been confirmed that Luna will represent Poland at Eurovision 2024 with "The Tower".
After deciding on an internal selection for Eurovision 2024, around 212 songs were submitted to the Polish broadcaster for Eurovision 2024, by both established and unknown artists alike. All of these entries were evaluated by a jury panel, and it was Luna and her song “The Tower” who just made it by one point over second place.
The jury panel consisted of five members:
- Łukasz Pieter – Musical Director at Radio ZET
- Michał Hanczak – Music Journalist at Radio Eska
- Kasia Moś – Eurovision 2017 representative
- Konrad Szczęsny – President of the Association of Eurovision Song Contest Fans OGAE Polska
- Piotr Klatt – Music Journalist at Radio Dla Nasze
Each of the jury members ranked each of the submitted entries from 1 to 10. Luna was in first place with 34 points, Justyna Steczkowska was in second place with 33 points, whilst Kayah and Marcin Maciejczak tied for third place with 23 points each.
Speaking out about the song, Luna hopes “The Tower” will inspire everyone to fight for themselves: “The Tower is a manifesto of freedom and strength. A way out of darkness and darkness. Abandoning ties, blockages, limitations, negative patterns and relationships. Destroying the tower and going out into the world. I hope that this song will inspire us all to fight for ourselves, our own freedom, love and sense of worth. To be fully yourself, without boundaries.”
