Demons back, dance all night!

It is an uptempo pop entry, penned by Saara Aalto, Joy Deb, Linnea Deb and Ki Fitzgerald. During its video clip, Saara is flanked by eccentrically dressed and painted male dancers, with whom she’s leaving behind all her previous fears, demons and monsters tonight, according to her song’s lyrics.

Saara’s is all set to compete at the Finnish national selection show, which will be held this Saturday 3 March in Espoo, Finland. Here is the official music video of the song, unveiled by the Finnish national broadcasting service YLE:
