Albina Grčić from Split will represent Croatia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with the song Tick-Tock and her first rehearsal in Rotterdam Ahoy today impressed journalists in the press centre who gave her a round of applause.

Albina’s song was an early favourite among Eurovision fans and after her rehearsal many are expecting her to be a definite finalist. 

At the press conference that followed the rehearsal, Albina said she felt safe on stage and was impressed with the organisation. 

She also revealed that before leaving for Rotterdam she received advice from former Croatian Eurovision representatives, like Vanna and Doris Dragović, who told her to enjoy the moment.

Eurovision will take place from 18-22 May and will be the 65th edition of the song contest. 

Croatia has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 25 times since making its debut at the 1993 contest. Croatia’s best result in the contest is fourth-place finishes in 1996 (Maja Blagdan) and 1999 (Doris Dragović).
