Ahead of the 70th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, we caught up with Alicja who will represent Poland in Vienna with “Pray”.
We spoke to Alicja about what Eurovision means to her, how she has grown since first being selected for Eurovision in 2020, and the message she hopes to share with “Pray.” During the interview, she reflects on being able to represent Poland with an R&B and Soul song and preparations for the contest in Vienna.
We want to thank Alicja for taking the time to speak with us ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 and wish her the best of luck in Vienna. Alicja will perform “Pray” during the first half of the first semi-final on May 12.
Poland debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994 alongside a number of other Eastern European countries. Their debut year saw their best result to date in the contest, as Edyta Górniak finished in 2nd place with her song “To nie ja!”. Following this, Poland failed to repeat this initial success, only managing to achieve a top 10 finish on two other occasions since their debut. Since their return in 2014, they have been considerably more successful in the contest, having qualified for the final 7 times out of 11 attempts.
