Portugal’s national broadcaster RTP has officially unveiled the song “Para Onde Vai o Amor?” to be performed by 12-year-old Inês Gonçalves at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Tbilisi.
About “Para Onde Vai o Amor?”
The song’s title asks a very important question, “Where Does Love Go?”, hinting at a mature theme for the young performer. The decision to compose it in Portuguese strengthens the country’s tradition of sending entries that reflect local language and identity.
Inês Gonçalves gained her place as Portugal’s representative after winning the national competition The Voice Kids Portugal.
