The song, which was selected as Slovenia's entry to Eurovision in a televised competition on Saturday, was written by Kovač and Hannah Mancini, Slovenia's representative at last year's Eurosong.

Kovač, at 35-year-old a veteran of the Slovenian pop scene, beat out six other entries on the EMA show hosted by public broadcaster RTV Slovenija.

She was selected the winner in two rounds of phone voting, after yesterday's finalists were selected by a panel of judges consisting of head of the EMA competition Miša Molk, musician and producer Andrea F. and two-times Eurovision contestant Darja Švajger.

Slovenia will compete against Macedonia, Finland, Ireland, Romania, Belarus, Greece and Switzerland in the semi-finals on 8 May.

Kovač has long been a part of the Slovenian music scene, debuting in a kids show at the age of nine.

Her first album "Ne odhajaj poletje" was released in 1997, which she has followed up with seven more studio albums since. During her career, Kovač has worked with a number of international musicians including Ian Anderson and his band Jethro Tull.
