Fource will represent the Netherlands at the upcoming Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Tbilisi, Georgia. The group recently filmed the music video for “Love Me” at the Dam Square in Amsterdam. Fource are a group made up of Max Mies (14), Jannes Heuvelmans (14), Niels Schlimback (12) and Ian Kuyper (13). They are the first boyband to ever represent the Netherlands in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. They are also the first boys to represent the country since Ralf Mackenbach in 2009, who gave the Netherlands its first, and so far only, victory in the contest.

Fource won Junior Songfestival 2017 just over a week ago with their covers of “There’s Nothing Holding Me Back” by Shawn Mendes and “September Song” by JP Cooper. This year marked a return to a televised selection for the first time since 2015. Other changes to the format included contestants performing cover songs instead of original songs and 100% jury vote.
