How far can Slovenia reach this year? Following her victory in last year’s national selection EMA and the cancellation of the 2020 event, Ana Soklič was offered a second chance to represent her country on the Eurovision stage. Moments ago, the broadcaster RTVSLO released her Eurovision entry.
This year’s edition of
EMA was dedicated to the 60th anniversary after the country’s first Eurovision participation (as part of
Yugoslavia), as well as the presentation of Ana’s 2021 song, after her internal selection. The show was hosted by
Nejc Šmit and the 2018 Slovene entrant,
Lea Sirk.
Amen was selected as the Slovene entry among 191 submitted songs to the broadcaster, by an appointed expert jury.

Slovenia s Ana Soklič has revealed Amen as her song for Rotterdam, which she will perform as one of the opening 8 numbers in the first Semi-Final on Tuesday 18 May.
In a special non-competitive version of
Evrovizijska Melodija (EMA 2021) hosted by Lea Sirk and Nejc Šmit, Slovenian songstress Ana Soklič unveiled her entry for Rotterdam 2021.
Talking exclusively to Eurovision.tv she revealed:
“’Amen’ is about love because love matters the most, and the message of the song is very universal. I never speak about my personal interpretation of a song because I prefer people to make their own vision of it.
