Surprising revelation: Singer ADONXS will debut his Eurovision song during the first semi-final of Malta’s national selection, MESC 2025, performing an acoustic version.
ADONXS, whose real name is Adam Pavlovčin, has revealed in a new announcement the date for the first unveiling of his Eurovision 2025 song. The singer was internally selected in December by the Czech national broadcaster (ČT) to represent the country at Eurovision 2025 in Basel, Switzerland. Now, it appears the singer is choosing to reveal his song in an unconventional manner, performing an acoustic version during the first semi-final of Malta’s Eurovision national selection, MESC 2025, scheduled for February 4th.
Unique Unveiling Strategy
In a new Instagram post, ADONXS shared a surprising video indicating that he will unveil his Eurovision song on February 4th, during an interval act in the first semi-final of Malta’s Eurovision national selection, MESC 2025. He will not perform the song in its original version, but rather in an acoustic rendition. Additionally, the artist hints at the new song’s title in the video. Using lipstick, the singer wrote on a mirror the words “Kiss Kiss Goodbye XOXO”. This suggests that the song’s title is likely to be “Kiss Kiss Goodbye”, which he also tagged in the post’s description.

Acoustic Debut: A Bold Move
ADONXS’s decision to reveal his Eurovision song in an acoustic version represents a unique and daring move in the competition landscape. Unlike traditional approaches of song reveals through national finals, television broadcasts, or direct digital releases, opting for an acoustic version poses an intriguing challenge. It may showcase ADONXS’s vocal skills in a different light but could also leave the audience uncertain about the final style and power of the performance on the Eurovision stage.
Implications and Expectations
This strategy may preserve the element of surprise and heighten anticipation for the final performance. However, it also carries the risk of mixed reactions from fans and critics, as the initial impression could differ significantly from the competitive performance. Ultimately, this move is likely to generate considerable curiosity and increase interest in ADONXS’s appearance at Eurovision 2025.
