Bulgaria: Title of Victoria's song for Eurovision 2020 revealed: "Tears Getting Sober"
Bulgaria's broadcaster BNT has just revealed that Victoria Georgieva will sing "Tears Getting Sober" at Eurovision Song Contest 2020. Her song will be released on Saturday 7 March
Victoria has been selected internally by the Bulgarian broadcaster BNT back in November, and now the broadcaster just revealed the title and more details about Victoria's Eurovision song: "Tears Getting Sober".
The song "Tears Getting Sober" was created on a songwriting camp in Vienna back in January 2020. Victoria is extremely happy for the song:
– I am over the moon that "Tears Getting Sober" will be the song I will perform at Eurovision. It is really personal for me because I was involved in the songwriting. Working with Boris, Lukas and Cornelia and the Symphonix team was a real pleasure. Can’t wait for you all to hear it on 7 March!
The song is written by herself along with Borislav Milanov, Lukas Oscar and Cornelia Wiebols. A team she is proud to work with:
– Borislav Milanov has lots of experience with Eurovision already. Bulgaria’s entry is his second in this year’s contest. He is also behind Germany’s entry “Violent Thing”. Last year he co-wrote the entries for Malta and Azerbaijan.
"Tears Getting Sober" will be released on Saturday 7 March at 9:00 CET.

Bulgaria in Eurovision Song Contest
