LOREEN Tattoo | Will she win Eurovision again?

Will Loreen win Eurovision for the second time with Tattoo?

Loreen re-entered Sweden’s Eurovision preselection, Melodifestivalen, in 2017 with a song called ‘Statements‘, but she didn’t make it. She decided then that she would not try again. In fact, when the songwriters sent her ‘Tattoo‘ and asked her to perform it, she thought she wouldn’t do it. She spent 4 weeks thinking about it, until she discovered that she could bring something new to the table and that she had something to say with the song. She agreed to perform and won the pre-selection in her country.

Now that she is in the running for Eurovision 2023, does Loreen have a real chance of winning again?

To answer this question, let’s look at it from all angles:

1. Who is the winner of ESC 2023 in the betting? Loreen’s Tattoo is already first in all rankings. It exceeds 80% in chances of winning.
2. Is Loreen an experienced singer? She is, not only because she is almost 20 years old in music, but also because just 11 years ago she won Eurovision, so she has plenty of experience. In fact she has commented that this time she is going to enjoy it more because in her own words, she is now much cooler and more mature.
3. Is Tattoo a good song? Yes, it is a Dance-Pop song with a very catchy chorus in which Loreen displays all her vocal power. In fact, it is very similar to ‘Euphoria’.
4. Is Loreen’s staging spectacular? Yes and no. It’s not a light show and fireworks, but just like ‘Euphoria’, Loreen is alone on stage creating an immersive scene, which keeps you gripped every second. It’s inspired by a desert as a tribute to her Berber roots, it even has real sand on the lower screen. Of course, it is very complicated to execute, as it involves transporting two giant screens weighing almost 2 tons between which Loreen will dance and sing.

‘Tattoo’ performance on Eurovision 2023

If you ask me my opinion, I would say yes. I love the song and after seeing the 37 participants, it is the best performance 🤩

By the way, in case she succeeds she would be the first woman in the history of Eurovision to win the contest twice, thus equaling Johnny Logan, who won it for Ireland in 1980 and 1987.

Loreen ‘Tattoo’ meaning

Tattoo is a great dance track that talks about love using the metaphor of tattoos, as something that you engrave in your body forever.

Tattoo contains fragments of ‘The Winner Takes It All’ by ABBA, as a nod to the greatest Swedish group, ABBA, along with our beloved Roxette.

On the other hand, the staging, which shows Loreen trapped between two large horizontal screens, symbolizes a long journey through the desert 🏜️. As the song goes on, the space widens, conveying a message of hope on the fact that we will find our way.
