The Slovenian flag is white, blue and red and ManuElla is bringing at least two of those colours with her to Stockholm. She was victorious at EMA 2016 with her song “Blue and Red”, ultimately winning the Superfinal against Raiven. The “Blue and Red” lyrics are about a relationship gone wrong, with ManuElla’s other half trying to “fix her”. Ultimately though, he is left feeling “blue” and she is “better”. Female empowerment to the max.

Blue and Red lyrics – Manuella

Blue and red, like I’m watching you and me
Every little thing you said
Led me to fall in love with you

Then he tried to fix me and I wasn’t strong
But you are not a composer, I am not your song
Strange chords, different words

How can I mix red and blue together
Beautiful things and stormy weather

Alive, alive, alive

‘Cos blue is blue and red is red
Our past is fading in my head
But now the colour doesn’t matter,
You feel blue and I am better

Now I’ve changed, now I’m stronger than before
Never touching me no more
I’m okay, I’ll find my way

How can I mix red and blue together
Beautiful things and stormy weather

Alive, alive, alive

‘Cos blue is blue and red is red
Our past is fading in my head
But now the colour doesn’t matter,
You feel blue and I am better

(Blue is blue and red is red,
Now the colour doesn’t matter)

Alive, alive, alive
(Beautiful things in stormy weather)
Alive, alive, alive
