Sofía took part in TV3’s talent show “Eufòria”, one of the most popular programmes in the channel. Miki Núñez, he of “La Venda”, is the host of the show. There, Sofía performed Rosa Linn’s “Snap” and Rigoberta Bandini’s “Perra”.
What do the “Here To Stay” lyrics mean?
“Here To Stay” is all about empowerment and Sofia letting y’all know that she perseveres: “Nothing will stop me from trying a thousand more times, until the end…”
But it’s not just about letting others know. Sofia wants to remind herself to believe it too: “Let me feel this, my moment to contradict those who forgot about me, this is my moment, I’m burning inside.”
Sofia Coll sings in three languages: Spanish, English for the international audience and Catalan, her native language. “Excuse me that I haven’t spoken in Catalan, one should never leave their roots”.
