A ballad with emotional punch
Just Go is a power ballad about escaping a toxic relationship and rediscovering your own strength. It's the first Caucasian entry to be revealed this year — Georgia's song is expected within the next couple of days, while Armenia remains a complete mystery with no artist or song confirmed yet.
Can Azerbaijan end their qualifying drought?
JIVA will perform in the first half of Semi-Final 1 on 12 May. It's a significant moment for Azerbaijan, who until 2023 had one of Eurovision's most impressive qualifying records — missing the final just once since their debut. However they've failed to qualify in each of the last two contests, and will be eager to return to the Grand Final stage in Vienna.
Who is JIVA?
JIVA is an experienced Azerbaijani artist whose career spans over two decades. She's performed at international jazz festivals in Switzerland, competed in The Voice of Azerbaijan in 2025, and has been releasing music across pop, dance and R&B ever since.
