JJ, the Austrian Eurovision 2025 hopeful,  has released his Eurovision entry ‘Wasted Love’.

JJ was selected via an internal selection to fly the Austrian flag at the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel with his entry ‘Wasted Love‘.

He has released his Eurovision entry today:

JJ says:

This song perfectly captures my experience with unreciprocated love. There’s a unique kind of heartbreak in having so much love to give but nowhere for it to land. It feels like being adrift at sea on a fragile paper boat; grasping at any sliver of hope, only to watch it dissolve beneath you. And yet, there’s something undeniably beautiful in that naïve devotion. Because, in the end, simply being able to love – no matter how wasted – is a beautiful thing in itself.

The Austrian 2025 Eurovision entry has been penned by JJ himself,  Teodora Spiric and Thomas Turner.

The Austrian Filipino countertenor has made a name for himself in the world of classical music. He is currently performing at the Vienna State Opera.
