New music this week: Songs from AIKO, Subwoolfer, Željko Joksimovic and more

The Eurovision 2026 season is beginning to heat up. Over the course of the next few months, we will all fall in and out of love with scores of new national final and Eurovision entries. But that doesn’t mean we forget about the artists from past contests.

Contrary to the commonly perpetuated myth about the song contest killing careers, we’re always thrilled to report that singers associated with Eurovision are thriving.

Here is our final weekly roundup with a selection of the songs released recently by Eurovision stars.

New music from Eurovision artists: 2025 | Week 52

Sergej Ćetković – “Ljube”

This week starts from Montenegro, with a song from Sergej, who competed in Eurovision 2014. We have a powerful ballad with traditional Balkan influences, called “My Love,” accompanied by a black-and-white cinematic music video that becomes a metaphor for feeling alone in the middle of a crowd, for finding others, but never the right person.

The song speaks about a love that has slowly turned cold, just like winter, an idea highlighted by the snow in the video: “Honey, I haven’t changed my address/ Maybe your lips have, maybe someone else has you/ Love, now it’s cold like winter/ Honey, our calendars are empty, our closets are full of ghosts/ You and I are like veterans, love defends itself/ And when I remain alone, I know you as myself” Through this emotional narrative, the lyrics pose a heart-breaking rhetorical question: who could ever love you more than me?

Aiko – “Time”

Aiko represented Czechia last year. This week she drops a pop banger about giving time to someone, pretending you’re into them, and then leaving — treating the one who hurt you the same way you’ve been treated. For the last time this year, she asked her fans to vote between two song snippets on social media, and they chose this one.

The lyrics say: “Love of your life/ Just for the night/ Enjoy the high/ I wanna give you all my time time time time/ Treat you like you’re mine mine mine mine/ And then I’ll leave without a trace trace trace trace/ What a fun charade.”

Subwoolfer is the group formed to represent Norway in Eurovision 2022, and ever since, they have continued to release new music. This week, DJ Astronaut and our two favourite yellow wolves take us “to the dark side of the moon,” bringing a dark pop vibe with EDM elements that make this track perfect for every party.

The story behind the song unfolds through a series of animated posts on their Instagram page, where, after a banana is stolen (and eaten) from the wolves, DJ Astronaut arrives to save the day with a new beat — and more bananas. However, the moon where the wolves live slowly begins to fall into darkness, and once again the DJ teaches them not to fear it, but to celebrate it and keep the party going even when the lights go out. Released as the final chapter of this advent-style story, the song arrives just in time as a Christmas gift for the fans.
