Bulgaria: Listen to "Tears Getting Sober" – Victoria's song for Eurovision 2020

It's out! The song that Victoria Georgieva will sing at Eurovision 2020 has just been released, it's called "Tears Getting Sober"

All eyes are on Bulgaria!

After withdrawing from the Eurovision Song Contest in 2019 due to financial reasons, the country's broadcaster (BTN) confirmed their Eurovision 2020 participation back in October of 2019 after announcing that a sponsor would be in charge of all the costs envolving the participation.

Victoria - the singer internally selected to wave the Bulgarian flag in Rotterdam – has now released her Eurovision song Tears Getting Sober:
