Omaga (acronym for Oh My God) is a pop song composed by Filip Vlček and lyricized and interpreted by Benny Cristo. The lyrics are mostly in English. Only one line of the second verse is Czech. The intro is identical to the chorus, which is enclosed once by a pre-chorus, as well as two other times by a pre- as well as a post-chorus. Stylistically, omaga can be classified in the genres of dance and Afropop. #omaga #eurovision #song #contest #2021 #popsong #benny #cristo #czech #republic #afropop

The Czech Republic selected its first entries in 2007 and 2008 by preliminary round. In 2009, the selection was made internally. From 2015 to 2017, the Czech Republic selected its entries internally. In 2018, for the first time since 2008, a preliminary decision was held under the name Eurovision Song CZ 2018. What was special about this was that the preliminary decision took place completely online and was not broadcast on television. In 2019 and 2020, the preliminary decision was also held under this principle. #eurovision #song #contest #czech #republic #2021 #esc #preselection #benny
