AUSTRIA – Austria will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, having internally selected Vincent Bueno as their representative with the song “Amen”. He was due to compete in the 2020 contest with “Alive” before the event’s cancellation.

On 26 March 2020, ORF confirmed that Vincent Bueno will represent Austria in the 2021 contest. His entry for 2021, entitled “Amen”, was released on 10 March 2021.

Speaking about Amen, Vincent says:

“We have used the past year professionally to find the perfect song at the national and international level and among my own songs – and in the end, we were sure that Amen is exactly that song. The song found me. At first glance, it’s about a dramatic relationship story, but for me, it’s primarily about this inner struggle with your own strengths and weaknesses, that everyone knows, which leads to a bright future.”

ORF (the Austrian broadcaster) have high hopes for the entry, as their Program Director, Kathrin Zechner, reveals:

“It is his powerful empathy that makes Vincent Bueno so special – he will touch Europe in May with his song Amen, and with his charisma and his incredible abilities. He will ensure moments that are as moving as they are unforgettable at the Eurovision Song Contest.”
