The blood moon is rising! Poland has finally announced their entry for Eurovision this year, revealing singer Luna is heading to Malmö with her song “The Tower”.
Poland 2024: Luna – “The Tower”
“The Tower” is a solid electropop song, combining a hypnotic electronic sound with polished production to take the audience to a completely new cosmic music dimension, at the same time maintaining the unexpected impression of peace, harmony and authenticity. It’s art, personified, and its a great building block for what will no doubt be a stunning performance at Eurovision.
The song was made in the UK in collaboration with Fyfe and Max Cooke, specifically for the Eurovision Song Contest. Fyfe has previously written for Belgian singer Alice On The Roof.
Luna was an internal selection by the Polish broadcaster, TVP.

What do you think about Poland’s entry for Eurovision this year? Do you think “The Tower” will build as one of your favourites? Let us know in the comments below.
This Song Is good and i like It but…Witch er Tahoro doesn’t go to ESC? REALLY?
It’s quite nice
Well, Luna can sing live, can’t she? https://youtube.com/shorts/_xuk0Fd_kwk?si=oDojRm1o17StghWD
Sounds like AI
Average – 6/12
How did she manage to give me more uncanny valley vibes that the Sweden 2008 woman?
It’s a safe radio-friendly song that will probably do alright. I still don’t think it’s competitive enough to win though. The vibe of the music video and the sound of the song don’t really match well to me either
I actually love this. It surely is pretty standard but Luna’s vocals are beautiful and the melody itself is sweet and a bit melancholic. It has great staging potential. Definitely much better than I expected
This is a decent good-vibes bop…it does need a little adjustment…add a few Polish language lyrics somewhere and William is right the bridge needs more of a lift. A vast improvement over the basic sing-song of last year’s ‘Solo’.
It’s a safe choice, it slots nicely into the pack. It has been interesting seeing the publicity surrounding the songs which were allegedly submitted for Poland’s selection – there are so many exceptional choices, but with quite a lot of risk attached to them. It does make me think that this is the dilemma that most internal selections face and probably why we end up with so many middle-of-the-road entries at Eurovision. No-one wants to make a mistake and be laughed at. I would very much love to see more risk-taking in the competition though, it would be better off… Read more »
I don’t like it. I don’t think this will qualify.
I was so hoping for Pan Savyan.
Pretty good. Musically a great improvement from recent entries.
Congrats to her but I wish it was the milf witch
It’s a nice, easy-listen, radio-friendly song but considering the madness we have this year, it could get left behind. Then again the Polish diaspora could help it sneak through to the final.
Aww, that’s a cute video. Bravo.
It’s a really simple song that has a nice Chorus working up those 6ths in the melody, probably to represent to height of the “tower”. It’s a really nice musical thought. I don’t think it’s impactful enough to win ESC, but it’s one of the nicest entries of 2024 so far. I certainly prefer listening to this song compared to the screaming from Ireland this year (for instance).
To be fair, anything is better than that horrendous “song” from Ireland.
“The screaming” isn’t even that hardcore. Do you listen to black metal?
It’s likeable, but not strong enough to be a guaranteed qualifier.
Yeah, it’s like background music
I think it might qualify. I mean, it’s the only light hearted pop song isn’t it? It doesn’t have much competition in its own genre.
Heard the song once and It’s already in my Top 3. This is the type of song I’ll be listening on repeat.
Vocals need to do something live because in the studio version they don’t go anywhere and the song is building to a backing track change while her voice is pretty static the whole time? It doesn’t stand out at all right now and the chorus sounds repeated 3 times vocally.
Thank god not that witch song
ikr, sounds like something from 2005. Dreadful song.
Yes, 2005!!!
Sounds like something Denmark would send
Sounds like something Poland would send :/
Finally a BOP. Great choice Poland.
The song’s alright, but it feels like it doesn’t fit her style and voice.
Also, we already got plenty of middle-of-the-road radio-friendly pop songs sung by girls, so I’m not sure about how this will do in May :/
I dont know how it happened, i dont know why, i dont know how…but for some reason i like this song lol
my votes are sorted then for the final, to Poland
This is so mediocre it’s not even funny
Sorry, but it’s boring AF ???
not at all, very catchy, and they really have to do something with the chess for the staging theme, making Luna the Tower, and some backing dancers as a ”king and queen”
I’m reluctant to make a HP reference, but this is very Luna Lovegood.
Yeah. I was thinking of Luna from Harry Potter too: she really does look like the character.
Oh my God, now I cannot unsee it. It’s a brilliant thought.
If Poland and Ireland will be one after another in the semi final running order, the contrast will be so strong.
As said by others, it’s a radio friendly song. Nothing bad but also nothing special. I prefer it to some of the joke acts selected recently, and to me it’s a shame that people wearing underwear on stage have more chances of qualifying than the Polish entry. But – this is Eurovision, and the televoters wanna laugh when watching the show. Polish song can’t really give that a fight.
At least the underwear is gold and snug fitting
There’s room for both if they have different flavours. Having multiple fun songs will only increase Poland’s chances of qualifying.
So many female pop songs this year. And next will come: gre, cyp, geo, isr etc. Still the same. Hope this is last and other countries will be more original and diverse.
At least Greece entry will have Greek lyrics from what the artist mentioned so I have some hope for them to be different from all other English radio pop songs.
I reckon Liar will be better however in terms of the actual song.
I feel like there’s wasted potential here. Luna’s voice and style could have worked with a more alternative song I think. Instead we have here a mediocre song which felt like it dragged on for more than 3 minutes.
Wait until the final staging is sorted and the song will change as will the performance.
This will have a hard time coming out of the semifinals. It’s so mid.
not at all, this is most memorable of everything released so far, huge earwurm potential
The UK will vote for this. It’s very directed towards their charts. Plus it will stand out amongst many weird songs.
If anything, the UK would vote for this because of the large Polish diaspora there
I can picture Poland and Lithuania coming top two with 10 and 12 points respectively.
Not sure why you are being downvoted, this is as sure as night following day. And – Lithuania will finally do well in a year ending in “4”!
Yeah, that’s what I am excited about. For once, Lithuania could defy the curse of competing in a year ending in four. Wouldn’t it be cool if 30 years after deputing in last place with zero points, Lithuania finally gets their first top 5 result? I admit it might be a tall order but I like to be optimistic.
Um, have you forgotten that Poland has some friendly diaspora countries and neighbors in semi final 1 like Ukraine, Ireland, Lithuania and the uk? It could still get enough points to qualify but I think it would come second behind Lithuania in the televote for Ireland and the UK.
They will both (Lithuania and Poland) get at least 22 televote points each from Ireland and UK. There is no Latvia to mess things up. If Serbia qualified with as few as thirty something points last year, they won’t need many more to get through. But I expect Lithuania to qualify comfortably even without these guaranteed points.
I mean, it’s a good song. Now, to each their own and what they preferred but this is a solid entry for Poland.
Not my cup of tea
Totally unfair to Luna, but I am so disappointed that it is not Justyna. Oh well, please come back next year for the 30th anniversary of Sama. Do the right thing, Poland.
Maybe Bambie will bring the contest back to Dublin for 2025, so Justyna will perform in the same city as 1995! Iconic.
I’m not sure three witch songs would have done well against each other in semi final 1.
Three witches, like the Sanderson Sisters.
I’ve come at this from a very neutral perspective as I hadn’t heard either Luna’s or Justyna’s songs before the announcement today. I have to say Luna’s song is much better than Justyna’s (I think the main difference currently is it is easier to imagine how Justyna’s song would be staged because of this clip that has been shared on twitter).
Meh, it will probably just barely qualify but this entry won’t have an impact on the competition overall. Disappointed in Poland, I’m genuinely curious as to their reasonings for choosing this song.
Justyna on the other hand, her song would’ve made an impact.
How will it qualify from Semi 1? Literally, all songs that are already known are better or neck-and-neck, while Serbia and Croatia will likely have much stronger songs?
The reason is that Luna is signed to a big record label. That’s how it works for TVP, the bigger the connection and money the bigger the chance you have to represent Poland under a “democratic” facade.
Oh enough with the politics. Just enjoy it
Same as Denmark – a generic pop song which does not make a great competitor to the stronger outstanding ones. I am just disappointed, especially knowing they had much better of a choice to consider 🙁
Moreover, the song grows beautifully in the verses but the chorus DESTROYS the whole mood of the song
me being right then, Luna comes indeed from a very wealthy family who owns a large company in Poland
knew something suspicious was up with this selection, but yeah i take back my words, ain’t awful, just mediocre and nothing i haven’t heard before, but will keep listening to it i guess
Maybe her wealthy family will track down all the international jury members and PAY them to vote for Luna?!
her dad is Pawel Wielgomas, CEO of major foods company Dawtona, larger company than Blanka’s dad for example
Ok Wikipedia!
Please, stop!
She is no wanna-be artist like Blanka with one song. She released an album in 2022, and she can sing, definitely not an industry plant.
Don’t put her down only because you don’t like the song.
I also prefer Justyna’s Witcher compared to Tower, but please have respect for Luna as an artist. All theories are just BS.
The song is radio-friendly, modern pop, but in terms of Eurovision competitiveness, this is a safe NQ. Will fight to avoid the last place in Semi 1.
I’ve just heard the song and in the first 30 seconds I was hooked. By the middle of the song I was hoping for more, and by the end I was underwhelmed. The song itsself is fresh and easy to digest, but there just isn’t enough of a journey to make it interesting. The music video is conceptual and high-fashion and I enjoy it. But the song andthe video will draw comparisons between Luna & Raiven, and in that battle Raiven will come out victorious. Not a bad effort Poland, and much better than last years racket, but this one… Read more »
It will come down to the live staging I think. The UK will at least vote for it in semi final 1.
Ok guys, listen to this: I’m Polish and I love it. Good luck Luna, chase your dreams!
Love it! Good luck Poland!
She needs a good performance because semi final 1 is very difficult.
Tomorrow, Belgium will announce the singer and the song
i’m on the same boat, semi 1 especially the first half is filled w female bops
im not sure if poland is a sure qualifier anymore
I don’t usually write any comments here but seeing all the negative comments, I would like to add a few things. It’s understanable that we feel disappointed when our favorite from national selections don’t get selected to represent their countries. But this doesn’t mean we should bombard every comment section with how much we don’t want to see these artists and that we would rather see other artists. That’s a huge disrespect for the artists chosen. There is so much talent and dedication in every song, let’s just listen to them and enjoy them. Eurovision isn’t always about winning either.… Read more »
I’m not from Poland, nor do I think Witch-her would be a contender like the Polish fandom, but it would probably qualify for the final. This song, however, is not competitive at all. It is a bland/generic modern pop song you forget instantly. Nothing against Poland nor the artist, I hope she will sing well and have an interesting staging, but this simply can do well in 2024.
Hey! I’m not from Poland either 🙂 I absolutely respect your opinion. Everyone is free to criticize a song and say whether they like it or not. That’s what this contest is about. What I take issue with is that we should not make artists feel like they are unwanted or not worthy enough. For me, Eurovision is about supporting the songs you like; not throwing shade at the one you don’t like. But that’s just my opinion heh 🙂
Totally agree! For example, I liked Daniel Levy’s performance in Estonia, altough I also think he wouldn’t be competitive at Eurovision. If Estonia sent him, he would present them in a good light. Same here, maybe she is great live as Saba from Denmark. But in terms of winning, getting top 10, I just feel you should send different type of a song.
no hate at all to luna, the song is pretty good
HOWEVER
justyna was right there, the polish broadcaster is suspicious
Not when they gave Justnya a well deserved score and placement? She was close.
Bland English radio pop song, it’s not bad but the only way to know it is Poland and not Sweden for instance would be the country name at the corner left of the screen during Eurovision. Someone else mentions it but it’s really the same type of song as Sand from Denmark. You wouldn’t be able to tell which is which if not for the country name and in my opinion that’s not what Eurovision should be about.
The performance and execution change though. Saba is a solid grown artist, Luna is young and fresh. Let’s see who nails it!
How would anyone know what country is being represented if it wasn’t for the country name literally on the TV screen?
Pretty sure you would know for instance which country Slimane is representing when he’s singing lol singing in their mother language would be good indication to start with actually representing the country the artists are from.
IMo the songs released this week are all of them excellent. I LOVE this one, Denmark and Lithuania and also Moldova.
Polish trolls downvoting comments in 3,2,1….
Very good song – fresh and upbeat. Defo having this on repeat.
Me, too. On repeat. I feel this will get massive points from Western and Northern Europe.
Usually I don’t disagree with you, but no chance on this one. It is the safest NQ out of all songs we have so far.
I guess we will have to wait until the rehearsals. I have a gut feeling that a solid performance will help it go through. Then, no one knows.
