About the song This is Love
Demy’s song This is love was selected amongst three candidate songs to be the Greek entry in the 62nd Eurovision Song Contest. It is an up-tempo pop song with ballad elements. Music is written by the famous composer Dimitris Kontopoulos, who has composed several past Eurovision entries, not only for Greece but also for Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Azerbaijan. The lyrics are by the lyricist John Ballard and Demy’s sister Romy Papadea.

Lyrics of This is Love
Holding on to what we had can be so complicated
Could be time to move along and face it, no more debating
Watch the river running dry
Now it’s time to say goodbye
There’s an echo in my head
There’s a story still unread
And I need you here tonight
Walk away, don’t turn around
I will never let you down
I won’t let you see me cry
There’s an echo in my head
There’s a crossroad up ahead
How I want you here
Forever and ever and ever and ever
I’m not giving up
This is love
Reaching out for the stars
You and me as one
Everywhere this is love
This is love
Holding on to what we had can be so self-destroying
Remember how we laughed and played around till night met the morning?
Watch the sun set in the sky
There will never be goodbye
There’s an echo in my head
There’s a story still unread
And I need you here tonight
Walk away, don’t turn around
I will never let you down
How I want you here
Forever and ever and ever and ever
I’m not giving up
This is love
Reaching out for the stars
You and me as one
Everywhere this is love
This is love
Reaching out for the stars
You and me as one
Everywhere this is love
