You were one of the favourites last year and are highly fancied again this year does that put extra pressure on you or are you just looking forward to enjoying the experience? We can say that we will stay yellow, there will be 5 of us on stage and it will be Discoteque evening. How are the stage plans for Discotheque going, is it going to be similar to the national final and are you looking forward to Rotterdam?

We think it is a matter of taking your job seriously. How do you think Lithuania can get its music better known around Europe? We have a lot of new songs and it is only a matter of time when they will be released worldwide. We are very happy with signing a deal with Warner Music and we think they’re happy too, because we have big plans. Signing to Warner Brothers, what do you see happening in the future, are any albums coming and what are your plans for after Eurovision? Oh and about yellow outfits for Discoteque. It’s a funny story, but that’s how it happened. And by accident Miglė came into the coffee bar they were sitting in, and Marianas said “hey Miglė, we have a job for you”. After listening to the song Marianas said “yes, I like it very much, s I’m in, but we need a girl for the dance”. So when Vaidotas was looking for someone who could help with dance moves for “On Fire” he just called Marianas and asked him to meet up. Miglė and Marianas are very well known choreographers in Lithuania, however, the dance moves for songs “On fire” and Discoteque were composed by Marianas mostly and Vaidotas. Of course when we released “Discoteque” and it broke YouTube and Spotify streaming records in Lithuania we realised that yes, we have big chances to win this year’s national final.ĭid Migle do your choreography? How did you meet up with her and Marijanas, and how has it been learning to dance on stage? Who decided on the yellow outfits because they are one of the best looks this year? So yes, we hoped to win, but there was no guarantee. With Discoteque we wanted to continue our journey in the Eurovision Song Contest because it was cancelled last year and we had no chance to represent Lithuania. So we thought “oh, it’s perfect for Eurovision”.ĭid you expect to win this year’s Lithuanian national final? What was it like competing again? And by accident the song was exactly 3 minutes long. We had several songs with which we thought we could participate in the contest. Our decision to return to Eurovision came quite late. When did you decide to return to the contest with Discoteque? Was it difficult to come up with a new song for this year’s contest?

So we just knew that there was no way in which we would not continue our journey with music. So we took a second chance by writing On Fire.Īfter the contest was cancelled, did you just want to give up or how did you feel? What was your first thoughts and feelings? How did you feel when other countries let some of the artists return and you had to compete again? And we thought that we just needed a big platform to spread our music, where we could be heard by people. We realised that people like it very much. Yes I Do was a very successful song for us. They finished third, but the song did very well at home.Īfter Yes I Do didn’t win the Lithuanian final, what was the reason to make you return last year with On Fire? In 2018, the band decided to submit the song, Yes I Do, as a possible Lithuanian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. It has been a long and bumpy road, but our passion for music motivated us to move forward. At first we didn’t even have the name for our band, and it took us several years to shape our style and come out of the studio into the public as THE ROOP in 2014. And when they were searching for a guitarist Robertas asked Mantas to join the band because they were friends from school times. He began searching for musicians and that’s how he met a band in which Robertas was playing drums. In around 2008 Vaidotas was a well known pop singer in Lithuania but he always felt like this was not the way he wanted to perform and that was the reason why he decided to change his career. You formed in 2014, how did you all meet and why did you want to form a group?
