Song reveal next month

The videos for the songs will be released throughout February, with the first one out on 9 February, then the 16 and 23 February for the remaining two entries.

Saara will perform all of her bidding songs live at the Finnish national final, Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK) which is being held at the Espoo Metro Arena, just outside Helsinki in southern Finland on 3 March.

The winning song will be decided by a mixture of international jury and public votes, with Saara going on to compete in one of the 2 semi-finals of Eurovision 2018 on either the 8 or 10 May.
