Israel 2021: Here are Eden Alene's final songs for Eurovision 2021

The three songs that Eden Alene will perform on 25 January have been selected. "La La Love", "Ue La La" and "Set Me Free" – One of them will be representing Israel in Eurovision 2021

It was back in March – shortly after the news that Eurovision 2020 had been cancelled – that Israel's broadcaster (KAN) announced that Eden Alene wasn't going anywhere and was coming back for Eurovision 2021.

The broadcaster confirmed that a national selection would be held in order to choose Eden's song and back in December, the nine potential songs were made available out of over 200 submissions.

The public had until 13 December 2020 to vote for their two favorite songs and an internal committee would then select a third song out of those 9. The results have been announced and Eden Alene will perform the three favorite songs (pre-recorded video clips) on 25 January 2021, "Our Song For Eurovision 2021": "La La Love", "Ue La La" and "Set Me Free".
