Luna's participation represents Poland's entry into this celebrated musical event, where she will compete alongside artists from 14 other countries for a chance to advance to the grand finale.

Luna’s “The Tower” was created in the UK in collaboration with Fyfe and Max Cooke and was written specifically for Eurovision. As the artist herself declares, it's a manifesto of freedom and strength, calling for "abandoning bonds, blocks, restrictions, negative patterns, and demolishing the titular tower". Although Luna is not considered a favorite this year, the song has already gained significant recognition from listeners, garnering 3.4 million views on YouTube.

In the first semifinal, the Pole is set to take the stage as the sixth performer, just behind the representatives of Cyprus, Serbia, Lithuania, Ireland and Ukraine.

The second semi-final will take place on Thursday, and the grand finale on Saturday.
