Estonia at Eurovision 2025: Tommy Cash won the Estonian national selection and will perform “Espresso Macchiato” on the Eurovision 2025 stage. Listen to the song.
“Espresso Macchiato” is the name of the song that will be performed by singer Tommy Cash, who will represent Estonia in the first semi-final of Eurovision 2025 on May 13 in Basel, Switzerland. The song was written by the singer himself along with Johanness Naukkarinen, who wrote “Cha Cha Cha” performed by Käärijä at Eurovision 2023 representing Finland and finishing second. This is Tommy Cash‘s first song in the competition. The song is performed in English and Italian.
Tommy Cash opens the performance dressed in a suit and tie, drinking from a coffee cup, with a note attached to him that reads “I love Eurovision”. With interesting and peculiar dance moves, he is accompanied by dancers dressed in black resembling bodyguards. The performance is serious on one hand but mocking on the other, in line with the spirit of the song and Tommy Cash‘s style. He brings a satirical spirit as he performs the entire song with a serious expression on his face and those of the dancers accompanying him.
The song is a rhythmic and unique track that combines hip-hop with a humorous and wild style. It describes an extravagant and exaggerated lifestyle, with lyrics full of funny and absurd imagery. Tommy Cash uses his distinctive style to criticize and ridicule consumer culture and the pursuit of luxury, all on an energetic and captivating beat that makes the song enjoyable and addictive.
The singer won the Estonian national selection held tonight (Saturday) and competed against fifteen other contestants. Tommy Cash advanced to the superfinal, after reaching the first place in the juries’ vote and the first place in the public vote in the first round.
