    This just makes me wanna dance and go crazy and I'm not even that type of person. Wow! This should represent Finland at Eurovision 2023, I think this is the song which could do big things in Liverpool! 👀

      Funnily enough, the song is about not being that type of person, but trying to get there. The lighter pop part in the end describes just that, when you're drunk enough to let go 😂

This is the moment , original, replay button is smashed, sure qualifier at ESC, great staging material, powerful energetic , outstanding , will make your day, daring but in a good way, easily top10 ESC. Best song so far out of all National finalists across every country. Spain Estonia and Norway… I am truly sorry. Finland will not be forgotten this year AND this the best NF this year, nothing better will come as overall package, overall level of competition and quality from NF this year.

    He is a man who is a serious and tough guy. But when he drinks a pina colada at the bar during the evening, his protection is broken. When enough alcohol has been drunk, he dares to break free to dance. So that's why it's aggressive rap first and turns into dance. UMK songs always have English subtitles available. :)

    This is already way too overhyped, and only because it's 3min of pure terror noise. Truly sad if this wins over keira, lxandra or benjamin. I'll say this: it's NOT original bc hard rock/metal songs exist in millions, heard it already before as well.. and second, you don't have to be a noise-fest to be original. And three, i want finland to do something different than rock/metal.. original??...
    Maybe in Moldova's or Malta's selection yes, but in this field? It's not bad, but C'mon.. it's just a mess, like albania
