Germany haven't said anything about withdrawing, and Austrian politicians have made a lot of noise about doing so, but ultimately it will be up to ORF, and I doubt they actually will as I'm not sure they'd be up to paying the €40m fine. But either way, it will get ugly.

BBC never seem to select songs that are already pre-released, so if they were picked they'd have to probably write something new.

Likewise!

🇬🇪 GEORGIA: I really like this. It's feels familiar but also very empowering.
