Before the official release of the Croatian entry for the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest, this year’s representative Jacques Houdek has released the instrumental version of My friend.

My friend was confirmed as the official Croatian entry for the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest last week by the country’s national broadcaster HRT, set to be performed this coming May by the internally selected singer Jacques Houdek.

Composed by Houdek, Siniša Reljić and Tony Malm and written by Houdek together with Ines Prajo, Arijana Kunštek and Fabrizio Laucella, My friend is set to be unveiled for the first time this Thursday on the 2 March.

In the lead up to the official song presentation, Houdek has released the instrumental version of My friend which you can listen to now! Are you excited to hear Croatia’s full entry this Thursday?

Croatia will compete in the second half of the second semi-final on the 11 May, in which Houdek will be hoping to bring the country their second consecutive qualification following Nina Kraljić’s success in the previous competition.
