As countries continue their preparations for Eurovision 2025, Ireland has released the music video for “Laika Party”. Emmy will sing the song during the first half of the second semi-final on May 15th.
Check out the music video for “Laika Party” by Emmy here!
In the music video, Emmy is seen dressed in her iconic silver outfit that she wore when she won Eurosong. The video is centred around a dream a child has while she learns about Laika in primary school. Several child-like drawings are seen throughout the video to highlight this. Emmy and her dancers performs multiple different dance routines during the course of the song. Zero gravity is also seen throughout as Emmy is transported to outer space with her brother. The video ends with the child waking up from the daydream and leaving the school.
Ireland’s Eurovision journey
In 1965, Ireland made their debut in the Eurovision Song Contest with Butch Moore and the song “Walking the Streets in the Rain”, which managed to place 6th. Since their debut, Ireland has participated 57 times (making the Grand Final 46 times), and has won the competition seven times, which is currently tied for the record of most wins.
Ireland’s latest Eurovision participation saw them being represented by Bambie Thug, with their song “Doomsday Blue”. They placed 6th in the Grand Final, receiving 278 points in total, 138 of which were from televoters and 142 were from the national juries. This is Ireland’s best result in the 21st century.
