Montenegro at Eurovision 2025: Nina Žižić will release the revamped version of her song “Dobrodošli” on March 9th!
Nina Žižić, Montenegro’s representative for Eurovision, had previously hinted at potential changes to her Eurovision song, “Dobrodošli”. While she seemingly disappeared from the radar of Eurovision enthusiasts, it appears she was focusing on Eurovision preparations without unnecessary distractions. The singer has now announced that she will release the new and final version of her Eurovision song on March 9th at 20:50 CET, as part of an evening program on Montenegrin television.
The unveiling will take place during the Montenegrin evening show “Pod Naponom”, which is expected to be entirely dedicated to Eurovision that night. The program will also feature a performance by Žižić with the band Who See, with whom she represented Montenegro at Eurovision 2013 with the song “Igranka”. Additionally, the band Lomeliko will perform a medley of popular Eurovision songs.
The new version of the song is not expected to include extensive changes, and the song is likely to maintain its overall essence. However, some structural modifications may be incorporated to enhance its appeal for the Eurovision stage.

“Dobrodošli” (meaning “Welcome”) is the title of the song that will be performed by singer Nina Žižić, who will represent Montenegro at Eurovision 2025 in Basel, Switzerland. The song was written by Drako Dimitrov, an internationally renowned composer who has penned numerous Eurovision entries. The song is performed in the Montenegrin language.
“Dobrodošli” addresses mental resilience and emotional complexity in the face of life’s challenges. It describes a journey through uncertainty and emotional struggles, encouraging listeners to face challenges with courage and hope, understanding that difficulties are temporary. Through poetic imagery, the song focuses on community, love, and shared human fragility, presenting life as a performance where joy and sadness intertwine. The central message emphasizes perseverance and finding solace in connecting with others.
Nina Žižić – Who Are You?
Nina Žižić, a 39-year-old Montenegrin singer, began her musical career as a member of the girl group Negre.
She is no stranger to Eurovision, having represented Montenegro alongside the duo Who See at Eurovision 2013 in Malmö, Sweden, with the song “Igranka“. Despite the song’s popularity and fourth-place ranking in public votes, low jury scores prevented it from reaching the final.
Post-Eurovision, Nina has remained a respected figure in the Montenegrin pop scene, continuing to release songs and albums in her unique style.
