"We Will Rave" is the major-label debut single by Austrian singer Kaleen, released on 1 March 2024 by Warner Music Central Europe. Self-described as a "techno-inspired pop track", it was written by Anderz Wrethov, Jimmy Thörnfeldt, Julie Aagaard, and Thomas Stengaard. The song represented Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.
Background and composition
"We Will Rave" was written and composed by Anderz Wrethov, Jimmy Thörnfeldt, Julie Aagaard, and Thomas Stengaard.[1] Marie-Sophie Kreissl, who uses the stage persona Kaleen as a way to unleash her extroverted personality on stage,[2] described the song as a "techno-inspired pop track" before the song's release.[3] Upon the song's release, Kaleen stated that the image of a rave party in the song was used to promote a place where "outsiders and wounded souls go to heal and dissolve their problems through music".[4]
Kaleen was officially announced as Austria's representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 on 16 January 2024 on Ö3-Wecker, a radio show on Hitradio Ö3.[5] On 23 February, Kaleen published a 30-second snippet of the song to promote it.[6] The demo of the song was leaked several weeks before the song's official release; Kaleen claims that the final version was changed to conform better with Eurovision.[7] The song was officially released on 1 March.[8][7]
Eurovision Song Contest
Internal selection
Austria's broadcaster for the Eurovision Song Contest, Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF), officially announced their intentions to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 on 14 June 2023, deciding their representative via an internal selection.[9] A shortlist of 14 artists were judged by a jury and Eurovision fan clubs.[10] Although an announcement was expected in December,[11] this was delayed by a month. On 16 January 2024, Kaleen was announced as Austria's representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.[5]
At Eurovision
The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 took place at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden, and consisted of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 7 and 9 May and the final on 11 May 2024. During the allocation draw on 30 January 2024, Austria was drawn to compete in the second semi-final, performing in the first half of the show.[12] Kaleen was later drawn to perform sixth in the semi-final, ahead of the Czech Republic's Aiko and behind Denmark's Saba.[13]
