Born and raised in Georgia’s capital city, Tbilisi, 22-year-old Iru describes being ‘drowned in music’ from an early age; one notable early memory was participating in and winning Junior Eurovision in 2011 with her band Candy, aged 11.
Having long since dropped the pink tutu of her Junior era, this year Iru stormed through the finals of The Voice Georgia with a touching rendition of Loreen’s Euphoria , complete with an actual snowstorm.
Her victory came with the opportunity to represent Georgia at the Eurovision Song Contest - a chance that Iru grabbed with open arms.
And who else better to write her Eurovision entry than Giga Kukhianidze - the man responsible for all three of Georgia’s winning Junior Eurovision songs, including Candy Music .
Lyrics to Echo
Echo
Days in a row
I’m thinking, I know
I’ve got a big faith
My love is my crown
Will be better way
Will be better day now
It is not a secret
Life is love
Thing is known
(It's) Like in dreams
Going through the life together
Going through the life together
Like in dreams
Days in a row
I’m thinking, I know
I’ve got a big faith
My love is my crown
(It) Will be better way
(It) Will be better day - now
It is not a secret
Days in a row
I’m thinking, I know
I’ve got a big faith
My love is my crown
Will be better way
Will be better day now
It is not a secret
Going through the life together
Going through the life together
Days in a row
I’m thinking, I know
I’ve got a big faith
My love is my crown
(It) Will be better way
(It) Will be better day now
It is not a secret
Days in a row
I’m thinking, I know
My love is not a fake(one)
This feeling is lord
(It) Will be better way
(It) Will be better day now
It is not a secret
My soul’s like a fortress
I feel I’m progressed
Words getting worthless
('Cause) Love is a wordless
Ooooooooohhhhhhhh
When life is loved
Loved
Days in a row
I’m thinking, I know
I’ve got a big faith
My love is my crown
(It) Will be better way`
(It) Will be better day now
It is not a secret
