Latvia’s Eurovision 2021 entry is set to be revealed next month – definitely the good start to 2021 that we needed! It has been chosen out of eleven potential entries for participant Samanta Tīna produced throughout the year in song writing camps. 

Notable participants of the camp include Animata who represented Latvia at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2015 with Love Injected, which also achieved Latvia’s best result at the contest to date. Arnis Račinskis, producer of Samanta Tīna’s 2020 Eurovision entry Still Breathing was also present at the camps.
