Representing the UK, up-and-coming British pop singer Mae Muller will perform I Wrote A Song whilst reigning champions Ukraine will be represented by Ukrainian electronic music duo Tvorchi with their track Heart of Steel.
And whilst we're unlikely to have previously come across many of the performers, there is one singer many Eurovision fans are sure to recognise: Sweden's Loreen. Lorine Zineb Nora Talhaoui, known professionally as Loreen, is this year's Swedish entry and will compete in the final after successfully qualifying in the first semi-final on Tuesday. But that wasn't her first time on the Eurovision stage as she actually competed back in 2012 - and won!
At the 2012 Eurovision final held in Baku, Azerbaijan, Loreen performed energetic pop song "Euphoria," the third single from her debut album "Heal". The song was written by Thomas G:son, Peter Boström and was produced by Boström and SeventyEight - and certainly took Eurovision by storm, scooping a total of 372 points, 113 points more than second place Russia, and at the time the second-highest point score in the Eurovision Song Contest's history.
