Austria has officially chosen JJ as its Eurovision 2025 representative! The young artist will bring the song “Wasted Love” to the stage in Basel, with the track set to be released in early March. With songwriting credits from TEYA, who represented Austria at Eurovision 2023 as part of the duo TEYA & SALENA, excitement is already building for what could be another standout Austrian entry.
JJ is a rising Austrian artist known for his charismatic stage presence, modern sound, and emotive vocals. While he may be a fresh face to some Eurovision fans, he has already built a reputation in Austria’s music scene, making his selection an exciting moment for both national and international audiences.
His song, “Wasted Love,” is expected to deliver catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics, with TEYA’s songwriting touch likely adding a distinctive pop and electronic edge.
Austria has had an unpredictable Eurovision history, with both major highs and unfortunate lows. The country’s greatest triumph came in 2014, when Conchita Wurst won with the powerful anthem “Rise Like a Phoenix.” Since then, Austria has seen a mix of strong results (Cesár Sampson’s 3rd place in 2018) and non-qualifications.
Last year, Kaleen’s “We Will Rave” brought energy and dance beats to the competition but failed to qualify. This year, with JJ’s modern sound and TEYA’s songwriting expertise, Austria hopes to reclaim its spot in the Eurovision Grand Final.
Fans won’t have to wait too long—“Wasted Love” is set to be released in early March, giving Eurovision enthusiasts a first listen to Austria’s entry. In the coming months, JJ will begin rehearsals, promotional performances, and stage preparations for what could be a memorable Austrian performance in Basel.
