Franka is a Croatian singer and songwriter born in 1992. She started singing when she was three years old as the soloist in the Minicantanti Choir and performed at various festivals both in Croatia and abroad. 

While in school, Franka was a member of the St Andrija church choir in her hometown of Rabac and participated as the choir soloist at Christian music festivals. She studied piano and plays both piano and guitar. 

Besides singing, Franka has a big passion for travelling and foreign languages. She studied music performance and song writing at Berklee College of Music in Boston. She is currently studying Law at the University of Zagreb. 

Franka rose to fame in her native country when she won Showtime in 2007, a TV show similar to Pop Idol. She also competed in the Croatian national selection for Eurovision, Dora, in 2009 and 2010, but without success. In December 2009, Franka won Ples sa zvijezdama, the Croatian version of Dancing with the Stars with her dance partner Ištvan Varga. 

In 2011, Franka was featured on the songs On Fire and Run, where she enjoyed success outside of Croatia. After a break from music she came back at the end of 2017 and wrote the lyrics of her entry Crazy. 

Franka is very excited about her participation in Eurovision: "When I was two years old, I was standing in front of our TV set, holding a remote control instead of a microphone, singing the lyrics of Tony Cetinski's, Nek' ti bude ljubav sva from Eurovision 1994. That girl never stopped dreaming and now the dream is coming true! I would like to thank the Croatian Radio and Television for their invitation and expressing their confidence in me. My team and I are aware of the responsibilities that participating in Eurovision brings, we are ready for the challenge and we will do our very best to represent Croatia in the best possible way in Portugal in May."

Lyrics of Crazy

You make me feel
You got me deep inside this love
You make my heart go...
When I saw your eyes, boy
You’re just like a movie black and white
You made me go - oh
Straight out of my mind

I swear, that I...
I will remember
Roses and horses in the rain
Make it forever
And I go

Crazy
Go crazy for your love Crazy
Go crazy for your love
Lo-o-o-ove
Lo-o-o-ove

I love you
for this love knows no reason, no games Just like Bonnie and Clyde
We walk the road together,
No fear, no breaks.

You light up my world,
No I need no diamonds and pearls not that kind of girl
Over the moon
I’ll be your queen
And I’ll be your fool

Say you remember
Roses and horses in the rain
Make it forever
And I go

Crazy
Go crazy for your love Crazy
Go crazy for your love
Lo-o-o-ove
Lo-o-o-ove

Ain’t no runnin’, no turning back Now I’m caught in your web,
Is it real I keep asking myself
Sweet fantasy,
I can’t help it
Can’t hide it
I’m shooting across the sky

I’m crazy for you love Crazy, I go crazy, I go crazy Lo-o-o-ove
