Greek public broadcaster ERT has premiered the 'SUPERG!RL' song and music video for their 17-year-old Eurovision Song Contest 2020 representative, Stefania.

ERT describe SUPERG!RL as a contemporary up-tempo pop song with ethnic elements. Stefania will perform her entry in the first half of the second Semi-Final on 14 May.

What is it about?

SUPERG!RL encourages teenagers to believe in themselves and chase their dreams. The song is about Stefania's own journey as a young woman working to combine her obligations as a student with her dream of singing.

Greek composer and producer of the song Dimitris Kontopoulos finds that Stefania has a very powerful voice. He didn't stumble upon the track easily: "To be honest, it was difficult to find the right song for her, since we wanted the track to fit both her age and personality". About the team behind SUPERG!RL, he says: "It is the first time I collaborate for Eurovision with Arcade, a very talented young group of songwriters and producers from Greece, while it’s always an honour working with Sharon Vaughn, a great lyricist and woman."

On the music video

The music video for the song was directed by Greek director Kosta Karydas in Athens, Greece. Regarding the video, Kostas said: "We came up with a story with surrealistic elements. We followed a young woman who finds the strength to embrace her special abilities in a society that perceives her as an outcast. It is a journey to explore her inner strength."

On how the video came together, he says: "The SUPERG!RL team consists of a number of acclaimed professionals that have given their 100% to create the outcome we envisioned. The collaboration with Stefania was impeccable and we were impressed by her professionalism and her acting skills."
