Nina Žižić, Montenegro’s Eurovision 2025 representative, revealed new details about her upcoming performance in Basel, Switzerland, and is actively promoting her song “Dobrodošli” ahead of the contest.
Nina Žižić, Montenegro’s representative for Eurovision 2025 with the song “Dobrodošli” (translated as “Welcome”), shared details about her staging and costume during an appearance on the Serbian TV show Jutro na BLIC. The singer confirmed she will wear an entirely white outfit, similar to her performance at Montenegro’s national selection.
Žižić also explained that the black dress she wore in the revamped version of her song’s music video was chosen to create contrast with the original while maintaining the overall aesthetic of her Eurovision entry. Additionally, she confirmed that she will perform solo on stage without dancers or backing vocalists. Her vocal and emotional delivery will be complemented by impactful graphics and background visuals to bring the song’s narrative to life. The stage atmosphere in Basel will mirror the ambiance of her national selection performance.
Promotional Tour and Excitement for Eurovision
The singer expressed her excitement about her upcoming performance. She is scheduled to appear at four pre-Eurovision parties throughout April in Amsterdam, Manchester, London, and Madrid. Nina Žižić has also been promoting her song in Serbia through appearances on TV and radio shows. This promotional effort may be influenced by the close relationship between Montenegro and Serbia, as Serbia often awards high points to Montenegro when both countries compete in the same semi-final. This year, Serbia and Montenegro will again compete in the same semi-final (the second one), which is set to take place on May 15.
Preparing for Basel
The Montenegrin delegation will travel to Basel on May 4 to prepare for Eurovision 2025. Nina Žižić will perform in the second semi-final on May 15, aiming to captivate audiences with her heartfelt presentation.
Montenegro in Eurovision 2025
“Dobrodošli” (meaning “Welcome”) is the title of the song that will be performed by singer Nina Žižić, who will represent Montenegro at the second semi-final of 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.
Eurovision 2025: This will be Montenegro’s 13th participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. Montenegro joined the competition in 2007 and achieved its best result in Eurovision Song Contest 2015 when singer Knez reached 13th place with the song “Adio”.
