We are near the end of the national final season, and the Czech broadcaster has been quiet for months. Now, we finally know who will be representing the nation, and the song that they will be singing.
Gabriela Gunčíková is the act this year hoping to take the Czech Republic to the final for the very first time in Eurovision history. The song she will be singing is called I Stand, and you will be able to hear it below. The song was written by Christian Schneider and Sara Biglert, and the lyrics written by Aidan O’Connor and Sara Biglert.
