About the song "Maps"

Maps (Spanish for maps) is a pop song with which singer Lesley Roy will represent Ireland at ESC 2021 in Rotterdam. She wrote it with Emilie Eriksson, Lukas Hällgren and Philip Strand. The track was written specifically for the competition, she said. The singer describes Maps as heartfelt and uplifting. The song lyrics talk about how the singer has been looking for the wrong places all this time, and there is only one way back home. Her soul is the "map" and her heart is the "compass". #eurovision #song #contest #2021 #maps #roy #lesley #2021 #ireland

Preselection

Until 2015, all Irish representatives were chosen in a preliminary competition. From 1965-1986, with the exception of 1983 when Ireland did not participate, the National Song Contest was held every year. From 1987-2001 the Eurosong served to determine the Irish representative. From 2003-2005 the casting show You're a Star was used to determine the Irish representative. From 2006-2007 the representatives were selected internally. From 2008-2015 the Eurosong took place again. Since 2016, the Irish broadcaster selects its representatives and their songs internally. #eurovision #ireland #2021
