Raul: Okay, third year in a row that I’m really into Cyprus’s song and I honestly don’t even know why, I just like it! The “Hush Hush” part is begging for some killer camera angles. This is exactly the kind of song that puts me in a good mood, so Cyprus, you’re getting a solid 10 from me, no questions asked (yes, I’m being very subjective, and I don’t care).
Grade: 10/10

Reza: This song has a nostalgic feel to it for me, I’m not sure why, but I quite like that. However, when it comes to the overall song and package, I’m a bit unsure. I have mixed feelings, just like with Croatia, there are parts I enjoy, but as a whole, it doesn’t leave a strong impression on me.
Grade: 7/10

Laur: I’ll be honest, Cyprus’s 2025 entry doesn’t really impress me. The song does have a somewhat catchy moment (the chorus hook grabs my attention for a second), but beyond that it feels like a leftover track pulled out of a drawer at the last minute. There’s just nothing that stands out. I mean it’s a pretty bland effort that fails to leave a strong impression on me. It comes off as rather invisible and colorless, just kind of blending into the background of this year’s lineup. It’s not terrible by any means, but it’s certainly not a highlight either.
Grade: 5/10

Stefania: I appreciate that Cyprus didn’t play it too safe, even if the song isn’t groundbreaking. It’s the kind of entry that could really come alive with the right staging and energy. Just give me confident presence and crisp camera work, and this could be a real moment.
Grade: 8/10

Antonio: Honestly the song is not that bad. I just thought that it might have a different progression of the chords and different arrangements because for me it sounds a bit messy. The lyrics kinda make no sense to me but the hook of the song bn keeps you bop them cheeks ( at least for me) from time to time. Let s see the show in Basel and i might change my opinion.
Grade: 6/10

Florin: I really like the fact that Cyprus is going out of their girlbop confort zone again. I really like the song, been literally listening to it every day since it was released. Can\’t wait to see what they will do with it on stage, and I really hope he can carry the song.
