Singer-songwriter of Serbo-Iranian origin, Barbara Pravi is inspired by her title here of the great tradition of French song, recalling the famous Padam, padam by Edith Piaf. She has already written for many artists such as Yannick Noah or Chimène Badi. The Eurovision Song Contest is not entirely unknown to her, since she signed France’s last two songs at Eurovision Junior: Bim bam you, by Carla in 2019, as well as the winning song of the 2020 edition, I imagine, by Valentina.
