Tijana Bogićević

Tijana Bogićević will represent Serbia in the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest with the song In Too Deep.

Tijana Bogićević is a Serbian pop singer, best known for her song Tražim (Searching) that she recorded in 2010 and has since become a big hit. From an early age Tijana displayed a remarkable aptitude for music and it is no wonder she has chosen it as her career path. She says that meeting musician Vlado Georgiev in 2001 was the turning point in her professional career because that year she joined his band as a backing vocalist. While cooperating with Georgiev, she sang as a backup singer for his studio recordings and performed in concerts throughout the region. At the same time she was working with her own band which has become one of the most popular on the club scene in Serbia.

Although she is recognised as an excellent backing vocalist, Tijana points out that she always wanted to pursue a career as a solo artist. Since her breakthrough with Tražim in 2010, Tijana has participated in several TV talent shows. Other songs that have received a lot of attention are Tijana's duets with the band Flamingosi and Aleksa Jelić, as well as the touching ballad Čudo (Miracle), composed and produced by Dušan Alagić. She has just finished recording an album with the same producer and it is expected to be released in autumn.

In 2011 Tijana participated in the Eurovision Song Contest as a backing vocalist representing Serbia with Nina and the song Čaroban (Magical), an experience that she considers invaluable. It was her great wish to participate in the contest again and in May her wish will come true when she takes to the stage in Kyiv.

Do you have a (lucky) routine before you go on stage?

I don't have lucky routines, I don't like to be controlled by anything.

Lyrics of In Too Deep

In Too Deep
Wish that I knew where I lost
Right where there’s was no going back
The line was crossed
But I love what you’re doing to me
How you spin me around
High off the ground
I’m not coming down

Won’t somebody save me tonight
Feels like I’ve been sentenced to life
I’m falling so deep
I’m in too deep
I’m falling so deep
No escape, in over my head
Struck by every word that you said
I’m falling so deep
I’m in too deep
I’m falling so deep

Love doesn’t seem to make sense
You just broke into my heart
Got no defence
And you just spin me around
High off the ground
I’m not coming down

Won’t somebody save me tonight
Feels like I’ve been sentenced to life
I’m falling so deep
I’m in too deep
I’m falling so deep
No escape, in over my head
Struck by every word that you said
I’m falling so deep
I’m in too deep
I’m falling so deep
Ohohoho
Ohohooo
Ohooooo
I’m falling so deep

I’m in lightning speed
And I cant slow down
My heart is racing
When you’re around
Gonna fly so high till I hit the ground
Hit the ground

Won’t somebody save me tonight
Feels like I’ve been sentenced to life
I’m falling so deep
I’m in too deep
I’m falling so deep

No escape, in over my head
Struck by every word that you said
I’m falling so deep
I’m in too deep
I’m falling so deep

Ohohoho
Ohohooo SO DEEP
Ohooooo
