Alika loves competing at song contests, having triumphed at 'Estonian Idol' and showcasing her vocal prowess at all the competitions she could fit in her diary, including 'The Baltic Voice'.
Most importantly, she stormed through the Estonian national finals Eesti Laul alongside a haunted piano (or at least one that plays itself), granting her a spot at the Eurovision Song Contest.
Her first three singles, Õnnenumber , Bon Appetit , and C’est La Vie , all reached the top of the radio charts in Estonia, solidifying her popularity in her home country. She’s heading to the Contest with Bridges, which she wrote with Wouter Hardy, who co-wrote Duncan Laurence’s Eurovision winning song Arcade.
Alika is also a talented breakdancer, rapper, and boxer, although it seems unlikely that she’ll get to demonstrate those skills on the stage in Liverpool.
Lyrics to Bridges
Now I’m heading home
To solid ground
Realised that all the lies I’ve told myself have died
Bring me to the place
Where I belong
Filled with all the memories and dreams I have ignored
Aaaaa Aaaa Aaaaa
There is always time
To get back on track
Tearing down the walls
Slowly every step
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
There is one more thing
You need to know
That I forgive myself for all the lies I said before
Now I see the road
Of leading lights
Showing me where I should go and what to leave behind
Aaaa Aaaa
There is always time
To get back on track
Tearing down the walls
Slowly every step
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
You will find a way
To begin again
No more time to waste
Or to play pretend
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
I remember all the things that I went through
All the lies and blurry lines and city lights I knew
Now I'm strong enough to see what lays inside
And I can feel it all
There is always time
To get back on track
Tearing down the walls
Slowly every step
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
You will find a way
To begin again
No more time to waste
Or to play pretend
Now I see myself
Building up a world of bridges
