The very first song for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 has just been selected!

Montenegrin broadcaster RTCG held the Montesong 2024 contest to select their artist and song for Eurovision 2025.

The show started with Montenegro-born Danijel singing his hit from Eurovision 1983 "Džuli." After 3 hours of more looking back and, of course, the 16 performances, the band NeonoeN was declared winner of Montesong 2024 and will represent Montenegro at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with the song "Clickbait."

"Clickbait" was written by Ilija Pejović.

Montesong 2024 was the season's first national final and was held on 27 November 2024 in Voco Sports Hall in Podgorica. The result of the show was in the hands of the Montenegrin public along with a jury. Both parts decided 50% of the result.

The band NeonoeN was founded back in 2012 under the name Neon. The band is based in Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, and is made up of Marko Vukčević, Ilija Pejović, Filip Vulanović, and Milan Vujović.
