Armenia in Junior Eurovision 2022: Nare with “DANCE!”
Armenia will host Junior Eurovision for the second time, with the contest due to take place at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex in Yerevan. Defending the title on home soil is 14 year-old singer Nare Ghazaryan, who was internally selected to represent the country.
Upon being revealed as Armenia’s Junior Eurovision representative in late October, Nare said:
“Singing and dancing are inseparable parts of my everyday life. I grew up drawing inspiration from the works of many talented artists. I am honoured to represent Armenia as my homeland is hosting the contest this year. I am excited to meet kids from different countries and show them all a colourful Armenia.”
What do the “DANCE!” lyrics mean?
As the name suggests, “DANCE!” is all about moving your body and busting out your moves.
Nare sings about looking at the stars in the night sky, which fall down dancing. This leads into a catchy chorus where Nare repeatedly encourages the listener to dance.
The young performer sings about how dancing elevates her heart above the clouds and says that the stars are going to dance with her.
Up and down, left and right, Nare is moving in every direction in this fun and energetic number.

@wiwibloggs_official We can’t help but #DANCE along with @nareghazaryann 🕺 #JESC2022 #JuniorEurovision #SpinTheMagic #Armenia ♬ Dance! – Nare
Simple is sometimes best, and this track does it well. Easy to dance to every beat.
Catchy song with an irresistable hook. The dance break is cool, and easily Armenia’s not backseating this year. I expect (and hope for) this to do well!
The word “dance” is said here 41 times, 42 if we include “dancing”.
Adults made this and made it look like it’s a childs creation.
Great dance song. My 4th favorite.
I like how people here critisize the lyrics. Hello? It’s a kids’ contest, not a poetry battle
Why were the lyrics written by an adult then?
Because nearly all songs in JESC are? JESC entries don’t always need lyrical depth. Nearly all of this year’s songs don’t have much of an important message. The song itself is catchy and Nare’s got a good voice. That’s all she needs. Qami Qami didn’t have a lot of lyrical depth either, and that song won
We have two adult contests, then.
The rap part is good…
Clearly they’re not aiming for another win, this was such a let down to be honest.
I’ll vote for the UK, France, Poland and the Netherlands this year. North Macedonia and Ireland are also cool. Won’t cast a vote for this. Love from Armenia.
This song literally sparks joy and I’m here for it. I wouldn’t be mad with Armenia winning this year.
Nice song Armenia, but still I prefer Qami Qami
bro, I think I speak for most people when I say that I listen to a song for the song. I don’t care if the lyrics are telling me to dance or if it has been done before. The song is amazing and that’s all I care about
Oh no, some people don’t like the song!… No, what are we going to do? The world is going to end!
why is everyone so worried about the educational value of lyrics? It’s a song. Yes, La Festa’s lyrics are kinda stupid, and these are repetitive, but what does educational value have to do with that?
Really annoying comments tbh
I’ll tell you why. In the context of public service broadcasting. Millions of euros of public money spent on… this? Children can go on YouTube or hundreds of other places for this kind of song, or make it up themselves in about five seconds.
this is very very cool. it has k-pop vibes as some have already mentioned. should be a contender!
“Dance, dance, dance… dance until you die!” Winifred Sanderson
It’s a good song, very modern, very mainstream, k-pop vibes, in the clip she doesn’t look like a 13 years old girl as for Malena in her clip last year, the clip looks very expensive, like for Malena too. It’s safe to say that Armenia will put everything they can in her staging, they will try to make like Poland 2 victories in a row, will it work, answer in 22 days. Maybe the car in her music video will be on stage…
It ‘s not my favorite song this year, I like Snap and Qami Qami more
How does snap have to do with this..? Thats esc NOT jesc.
La festa, perfetto, bellissimo, yeah, teaches for sure
I mean, this song also teaches you Armenian…
More inane lyrics, written by an adult. What an example to set.
As a metaphor for dimming the minds of children, it works.
Awful.
most probably the catchiest song of this year; the more times you hear it, the better it gets. it has some EDM and disco elements, but it also feels a bit like K-pop (especially the part when she raps).
