“It is about the challenges we face in our life and how we find the strength to continue.” That’s how VICTORIA — Bulgaria’s Eurovision 2020 singer — describes her song and music video.
The highly-anticipated release will happen on March 7 during BNT’s Saturday morning show “Denyat zapochva s Georgi Lubenov”.
Bulgaria’s team tell us that Victoria co-directed the video alongside the Bulgarian director and screenwriter Viktoria Karakoleva, who is part of the production company Four Elementz. Rosen Savkov from Four Elementz served as director of photography and executive producer.
VICTORIA’s Eurovision 2020 music video
Genove Christova from Ligna Studio — the label behind VICTORIA and Bulgaria’s Eurovision participation — says the song and video fit with this year’s Eurovision theme.
“It wasn’t easy for us to choose the song but we are really happy a lot of people believed in it. Our team reached a consensus about the song and Victoria was really happy about that. The slogan Open Up works really well for this project because our message aims to inspire the young people who often face difficulties in their daily life.”
Apparently the video was filmed with the latest camera technology — something called ARRI ALEXA Mini LF. And get this: they did it in one shot!
Viktoria Karakoleva, co-director of the video, says: “We decided to use the one shot film technique in order to allow the viewers to connect with VICTORIA and her emotions. The lack of editing allows them to experience the real feeling of the song. The video shows VICTORIA’s inner world and the elements of nature illustrate the turmoil inside her.”
Are you excited to watch the video? Do you think she will lean Billie Eilish? And are you ready to Open Up to your emotions? Shout out your thoughts down below!
Belgium’s entry sounds nothing like a Billie Eilish song? Unless you mean Billie’s song for the Bond soundtrack, but all Bond songs sound alike though??
It’s a big NO from me. I’m already getting that Billie Ellish rip off vibe from this

What a sweet person Victoria is. !!! I can ‘t wait to hear her song !! I hope for a great one !!
Hype for announcing song titles and dates is dead.

I can’t wait!
It’s really good seeing how involved Victoria is in the creative process, even if she’s not a credited songwriter it seems like she had an actual choice about the song.
Well I’m intrigued about the Bulgarian entry now… I usually like thier songs. So can’t wait, well actually I can’t wait for every internally selecting county as it’s always a surprise in what you’re getting and when you’re getting it XD
I’ve never been so hyped for Bulgaria this much. I hope she will place them in the top 10
Looks like another one in slower pace. Hopefully this will stand out more than Spain or France.
Bitch I loooooove Spain
Love the message behind the song. I can’t stress enough Eurovision acts that cheaply include love in each and every word in their lyrics.
So so excited – hopefully another Hit from Bulgaria <333
