After winning Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2025 with her Eurovision song, Erika reacted to the moment on social media, writing: "Thank you! Eurovision 2025 I'm coming!"
What is Finland's Eurovision 2025 song called?
Erika Vikman will be performing ICH KOMME at this year's Eurovision Song Contest. The song was written and produced by Roos+Berg and upon its release, reached number two in the Finnish singles chart.
As Eurovision drew closer, Erika was quoted as saying she was given feedback on her performance that it was slightly provocative for audiences.
"It's not just one thing, it's everything. My clothes, what the song is about, how I move on stage. The EBU [European Broadcasting Union] has said it's a bit too sexual. They want to cover my butt," Vikman reportedly claimed to Swedish newspaper Expressen.
"I'm wild, I have more to give. I'm sexual on stage – and after two years of tango, I wanted to be a pop diva. It's still like that, although some are starting to get used to it. Half of Finland hates me, half loves me."
However, the Finnish broadcaster YLE's executive producer Anssi Autio said that discussions have taken place with the EBU, but clarified that it has only provided preliminary comments on the performance and no direct demands have been made.
