About the Artist
Hera Björk Þórhallsdóttir is 51, one of the oldest contestants we've had recently. As previously mentioned, she's been here before, placing 19th in 2010 with "Je ne sais quoi".

Song Analysis
I mean, there's nothing really wrong with this. It's fine. And nothing more. I don't see anyone really voting for this, and it would feel much more at home in a 2000s Eurovision.
Iceland's History
One of the most successful countries to not win Eurovision, Iceland's finished 2nd twice and recently had a real contender with Daði Freyr. The 2010s and 2020s overall, though, haven't been terribly kind, and Iceland may be headed into another down period.
Prognosis
The first song this year that I can't possibly see qualifying. There's just nothing here.
