Last year, Erica Cody told VIP Magazine that she hoped to represent Ireland in the 2024 Eurovision.
“I have some big plans and I’m hoping they’re going to Eurovision-based,” she told us back in August.
“I’m interested in doing it and I have the song.”
She went on to say: “I’ve been approached to do it a couple of years ago and it was one of those things where I said, ‘Never say never’ but the timing just had to be right. Now I feel like I’m at a place in my life where it’s something that I could do, do well. And hopefully do Ireland proud and give them something international!”
And most importantly she’s a Eurovision fan telling us: “Of course, I’m a Eurovision fan, I watch it every year.”
She has now been confirmed to be in the running to represent Ireland at this year’s Eurovision.
Erica’s song is entitled Love Me Like I Do.
Speaking on The Ray D’arcy Show, she described the song, saying: “The song has never meant more to me than it does right now. It really helped me get through one of the most challenging times in my life while navigating a break-up.
“It’s the ultimate feel-good self-love anthem.”
Five more artists are due to be announced to vie it out for the chance to represent Ireland in Malmö, Sweden in May of this year.
Good luck!
