S10 is participating in the Eurovision Song Contest in Turin with the song De Diepte (the Depth) this year. The 21-year-old singer says she is relieved that the news is now finally out.

S10 announced the song on Thursday morning in Tuschinski in Amsterdam. The singer reacted emotionally after the release. “I do this for all the people who have been so deep, for that Stien from back then.”

“It is an ode to the sadness and memories that you carry with you. Everyone experiences events in their lives that are difficult. That is something that all people share together and I hope that you feel less alone when listening to it song,” said S10, who was born as Stien den Hollander.

It is the first time since 2010, when Sieneke participated in Ik Ben Verliefd (Sha-La-Lie), that a Dutch song has been selected. She was unable to qualify for the final at the time. The last time before this was in 1998, when Edsilia Rombley finished fourth with Hemel en Aarde.

The Dutch entry must first prove itself in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest. She will then compete against Bulgaria, Ukraine and Croatia, among others. If she is among the top 10 on May 10, she will advance to the final on Saturday, May 14.

The Eurovision Song Contest will take place in the Italian city of Turin this year, after Maneskin won in Rotterdam with Zitti e Buoni. The first semi-final is on May 10, the second on May 12 and the final takes place on May 14.
