San Marino at Eurovision 2026: Senhit will perform the song “Superstar” in the first semi-final on May 12th in Vienna, Austria. Listen to the song.
“Superstar” is the title of the song that will be performed by Senhit, who will represent San Marino at the Eurovision 2026 competition, set to take place in Vienna, Austria on May 12th, 14th, and 16th. This marks the third time Senhit will compete in Eurovision, following her previous representations for San Marino in 2011 and 2021. In 2020, she was also selected to perform for San Marino, but her participation was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The song “Superstar” is a pop-dance track with a message of empowerment and self-confidence. It centers on self-acceptance and the courage to express one’s true identity without fear or apology. With its vibrant rhythm reminiscent of club music, the song encourages listeners to embrace their strengths and uniqueness, celebrating the “superstar” within each person. The collaboration with Boy George, known throughout his career as an artist advocating for freedom of expression and personal identity, reinforces the song’s message of authenticity and self-pride.

Lyrics – “Superstar”
Lookin’ like they’re up to somethin’
All the girls on the floor
Lookin’ for somethin’ more
like it’s all or nothin’
Neon lights, smoky eyes
Drippin’ diamonds, flashin’ lights
There you are Look at you,
starin’ at your shoes
Like you’re scared or somethin’
Oh baby
there you are,
go go and get it like a superstar,
go go and do it from your broken heart
Cause baby you’re a superstar,
superstar,
aha aha
There you are,
go go ahead and show them all your stars
freaky queen 4am you’re really something
and it’s about time you get up show me what you’re becoming
Oh, baby,
I know that you’ve been to hell and back
But there is one thing
Oh, baby, there you are
Go go and get it like a superstar
Go go and do it from your broken heart
Cause, baby, you’re a superstar, superstar
