Nina Žižić:
Nina Žižić is a 39-year-old Montenegrin singer whose musical career began when she was a member of the girl band Negre.
Nina is no stranger to Eurovision, and she represented Montenegro together with the group Who See at Eurovision 2013 held in Malmö, Sweden, with the song “Igranka“. Although the song received attention for its uniqueness and even reached fourth place in the public vote, the judges ranked it at the bottom of the table and prevented its advancement to the final. After Eurovision, Nina continued to be a respected figure in the Montenegrin pop scene, releasing songs and albums in her unique style.
The singer came in second place in the Montenegrin Eurovision national selection, Montesong 2024, with 19 points, ranking fourth by the public at home and first by the international jury panel. The first place in the public vote was won by the band Baryak with the song “Dva Srca“, and the overall winner was the band Neonoen, which chose to withdraw from the competition after an alleged violation of Eurovision rules.
“Dobrodošli”:
The song “Dobrodošli” deals with deep emotions and personal transitions, focusing on coping with pain, hope, and perseverance. The lyrics describe a person dealing with feelings of fatigue and loneliness, waiting for change or relief. The theme of the song focuses on the importance of dealing with difficulties and remembering that they will pass.
The choruses of the song refer to accepting pain and the experience of personal coping, while calling for laughter and joy even in difficult times. The song also addresses the theme of personal vulnerabilities and the struggle to deal with one’s own weaknesses. It invites the listener to reflect on the personal experiences of their life, recognizing difficulties but also fighting and moving forward with hope and a smile.
The song was written by Boris Subotić, a singer and composer who participated in the Serbian Eurovision national selection, Pesma za Evroviziju, in 2022 with the song “Vrati mi“, with which he did not advance to the final, and in 2023 with the song “Nedostupan“, reaching 13th place in Pesma za Evroviziju final. Boris wrote the song together with Violeta Mihajlovska, who also co-wrote the song “No No No” that competed in the Serbian Pesma za Evroviziju in 2024 and reached seventh place.
Lyrics of “Dobrodošli”:
Budi se noć, koja je kriva
Umorne oči trlja bez stida
Hoće li doć il će da sniva?
Zora rujna rane da vida
Gdje su sad svi? Iza sumeđa
Pretom vijenac od cvijeća
Nasmij se, izdrži sve, proći će
Izdrži sve, proći će, nasmij se
Proći će, nasmij se, izdrži sve
Nesaće, presaće, a kada će?
Dobrodošli meni vi
Na predstavu
O ljubavi
Kako si ti? Da li si dobro?
Gdje su sad svi čisti pred Bogom?
Ko da su nijemi, stoje bez riječi
Oni što tu su u zlu i u sreći
Lica su im crvena
Tugom krpljena
A ko mi je kriv?
Nasmij se, izdrži sve, proći će
Izdrži sve, proći će, nasmij se
Proći će, nasmij se, izdrži sve
Nesaće, presaće, a kada će?
Dobrodošli meni vi
U hotel mojih slabosti
Dobrodošli meni svi
Na predstavu
O ljubavi
Izdrži sve, nasmij se
Proći će
Izdrži sve, nasmij se
Nesaće, preѕaće, a kadа će?
