Bzikebi has released \u201cOn Replay\u201d, the Georgian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Vienna.<\/p>\n

Bzikebi has released the official music video for \u201cOn Replay\u201d. The song was written by Giga Kukhianidze, who has written multiple Georgian Junior Eurovision entries, including Georgia\u2019s last two winning entries; \u201cMzeo\u201d and \u201cTo My Mom\u201d.<\/p>\n

Bzikebi consists of Giorgi Shiolashvili, Mariam Tatulashvili and Mariam Kikuashvili. In 2008, they won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest with \u201cBzz\u201d, the first song in the contest\u2019s history to be performed in an imaginary language and the first of four victories for Georgia in the contest. After the contest, they released the album \u201cZabuzei\u201d.<\/p>\n

Bzikebi returned to Junior Eurovision in 2022, where they took part in an interval act celebrating 20 years of the contest. They also performed as an interval act at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Tbilisi, where they performed the original song \u201cWe Don\u2019t Sleep\u201d.<\/p>\n

Bzikebi will perform in the first half of the first semi-final on May 12.<\/p>\n

Georgia in the Eurovision Song Contest+<\/p>\n

Georgia debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2007. They were represented by Sopho Khalvashi and the song \u201cVisionary Dream\u201d. Sopho finished 12th in the final scoring 97 points. The song received 12 points from the televoters in Lithuania. Their best result was a 9th place in both 2010 and 2011. Georgia has only ever missed one contest since their debut. This was in 2009, when they had selected Stephane & 3G with \u201cWe Don\u2019t Wanna Put In\u201d. The EBU asked the Georgian participants to rewrite the lyrics of the song or change the song completely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bzikebi has released \u201cOn Replay\u201d, the Georgian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Vienna.
