Luxembourg in Eurovision 2025
“La poupée monte le son” (translated as: “The Doll Turns Up the Sound”) is the title of the song to be performed by singer Laura Thorn, who will represent Luxembourg at Eurovision 2025 in Basel, Switzerland. Laura’s song was written by Christophe Houssin and Julien Salvia, and also composed by Ludovic-Alexandre Vidal – this is these creators’ first song in the Eurovision competition. The song is performed in French.
The song is a tribute to the immortal song with which Luxembourg won Eurovision 1965, 60 years ago – “Poupée de cire, poupée de son“. The song deals with female empowerment and liberation from outdated and limiting social patterns. The overall message is a call for women to rise above limiting perceptions, make their voices heard, and take control of their lives:
Luxembourg is currently in 33rd place in the betting odds for Eurovision 2025.
