Georgia has its song for Vienna 2026
It’s the final song to be released for the 70th Eurovision Song Contest! And that last spot on your playlist goes to the aptly titled On Replay, performed by Bzikebi for Georgia.
The trio brought Georgia its very first of a record-setting four Junior Eurovision victories back in 2008, now Bzikebi will no doubt be hoping to replicate that winning formula at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in May.
On Replay was composed by Giga Kukhianidze with lyrics by Lizi Japaridze. Bzikebi will perform On Replay in the First Half of the First Semi-Final on Tuesday 12 May.
The buzz on Bzikebi
The members of Bzikebi were just 10 years old when they won Junior Eurovision for their country in 2008,
One of the most memorable Junior Eurovision winners throughout the Contest’s 23-year history, Bzikebi made a lasting impression thanks to their catchy bee-themed bop Bzz.., which they performed in a made-up language while buzzing around the stage in their shiny black and yellow outfits!
Following their win in Limassol, Cyprus, the group returned to Georgia and released their album Zabuzei, which was a hit with youngsters across the nation.
The group, made up of Giorgi Shiolashvili, Mariam Tatulashvili and Mariam Kikuashvili, found themselves back in the spotlight at Junior Eurovision 2025.
Held in Tbilisi after Georgia’s fourth victory in 2024, the OG champs were reunited to perform as one of the interval acts. And their performance of new song We Don’t Sleep caused quite the ‘buzzzz’ online, with many Song Contest sleuths wondering if this was a sign that the band might finally be making a much-anticipated transition to the Eurovision Song Contest…
How right they were!
