Warrior

Nina composed and wrote the lyrics to the song by herself just for Eurovision. Nina took part of the competitions thanks to her fans and as she said to the interviewers: »I couldn't say NO to my fans!« Nina said it was hard for her to write a song, because she hasn't been writing for a long time and she didn't know what to write about.

Nina: »I wrote the song about 5 hours, I concentrated my thoughts and energy and the story about the strong Georgian women was born.«

Nina wants to thank everybody for support to her song and thanks for the good comments about the song Warrior.

Georgia in Eurovision Song Contest

Georgia has participated in Eurovision seven times since its debut in 2007, with the best result in 2010 and 2011 (11th place), and the worst result in 2014 (came last in Semi-final 2). The only year Georgia didn't participate was in 2009. They decided to send the song "We Don't Wanna Put In" to Moscow 2009, but because of a controversy about the lyrics in the song, EBU banned the song from participating, if the lyrics was not changed. GPB refused to change the lyrics, and withdrew from the contest.
