At Eurovision 2019 she took Greece back to the final and won over countless new international fans with her beautiful song “Better Love.” And since then Katerine Duska has kept giving us the love, as you can hear on her uplifting new song “Sunshine.”
The song describes the process of breaking through inner darkness and reclaiming a joy that’s been struggling to surface. “Missing it a lifetime, now just wanna feel the sun shining,” she sings. “Let the sunshine in!”
The single will be released tomorrow — that’s Friday 26 July — by Panik Records. But Katerine has kindly given Wiwibloggs this 24-hour exclusive. You can watch the sun-tinged video below.

Katerine Duska shares “Sunshine” — her summery new single
Speaking to Wiwibloggs ahead of the release, Katerine explained how the single marks a new chapter in her life.
“This is a very special one for me because it’s the first single off my upcoming concept album I’ve been working on for the past two years.”
“This song is obviously a very fun, summer-coded dance track. But at the same time it’s a song that for me came at a time I really wanted to get out of a dark place I was sitting in for a while.”
“It’s about letting go of that sadness and coming into a new light — craving the light, craving that inner peace and embracing the new dawn and that new self. So I hope you like it.”
And we do. The lyrics carry heavy feelings, yet feel light and delicate thanks to Katerine’s delivery. We hear her turn a corner toward hope and renewal.
“I’ve been holdin’ a heart so broken though never spoken that way, something changed as my darkness faded, my tears start coming in waves”.
Her honesty — about pain, about being trapped in the shadows — ultimately frees her, creating a song so uplifting you can’t help but smile. As she sings:
“A light so bright it burns my eyes for the first time. My sun rises, the start of something or just the end of my night.”
Are you loving the song as much as we are? And have you pre-saved it yet? Let us know down below!
“Better Love” was a great entry, but I think they may have overdid it with all the pink and eccentricity of the live presentation. Regardless, she’s a beautiful girl with a great voice, and she’ll have a long career.
Well, let’s be honest, Better Love was a great song but Katerine didn’t deliver on the Eurovision stage. She has a very unique voice that can easily sound very nasal when she doesn’t hit the right notes live and that’s what happened at Eurovision. She deserved the place that she got.
But I still think she is a great artist.
San Marino have confirmed participation for eurovision 2025, with Una Voce Per San Marino also staying as their selection method
Katerine has had a lot of great songs since Eurovision 2019 and has been quite underrated since then tbh. But this song is a bit average…
Thank you for supporting her. She’s so talented but underrated. I just saw that she’s signed under Panik Records now so i hope they help her career.
