France’s Eurovision 2024 representative Slimane has released his first post-Eurovision single, “Résister (what about peace?)”.
About “Résister (what about peace?)”
Following his fourth-place finish at Eurovision 2024, “Résister (what about peace?)” is Slimane’s first release post-Eurovision. As the title may suggest, the message of the song calls for peace. It is bilingual, with the verses in French and the choruses in English. In a similar way to “Mon Amour”, the song allows Slimane to show off his vocal capabilities very well. The song was written by Slimane himself, alongside Yaacov and Meir Salah.

France’s Eurovision History
France is a powerhouse in Eurovision, debuting in the first Contest in 1956. Their first entries finished in second place, but no scores were ever published. Since then, France has gone on to win the Contest five times. The most recent win came in 1977, with Marie Myriam’s “L’enfant et l’oiseau”, scoring 136 points. France has seen a rebirth in results following a change in direction in 2016. Amir finished in 6th position for France with “J’ai charché”, followed by 12th, 13th and 16th places respectively.
For 2024, France continued to choose internally, they chose Slimane with his song “Mon amour”. At the close of voting in Malmö, France finished in 4th place, earning 445 points. 218 points came from the jury, while the televote gave 227 points to France.
