~~~ Lyrics ~~~
Your sorry means nothing
When everything else
Stays the same, stays the same
You stay silent, I get violent
And everything else stays the same
Pathetic and I'm over it
You're so full of it, full of it
I'll give all the love to me
And then I'll truly be free, I'll truly be free
And I, I, I, I need to learn to
I, I, I, I need to learn to
Put myself on a pedestal
I will be loving me more, loving me
Put myself on a pedestal
I will be loving me more
I finally learned not to force things
And I love me more, love me more, love me more
Love me more than you once did
Put myself on a pedestal
I will be loving me more, loving me more
Love of your life, just please don't ask
For any actions or any proof
Oh the irony
Where did my pride go?
I feel no shame, but you should and now I know
I, I, I, I need to learn to
I, I, I, I need to learn to
Put myself on a pedestal
I will be loving me more, loving me
Put myself on a pedestal
I will be loving me more
I finally learned not to force things
And I love me more, love me more, love me more
Love me more than you once did
Put myself on a pedestal
I will be loving me more, loving me more
I told you like a million times, why do you keep doing the same thing?
- I'm not doing it, I'm not doing it, I told you...
You are! Stop, where are you going?
- I'm not doing it, I'm off
I will be loving me more,
Loving me 6x,
I will be loving me more!
Loving me more
Loving me more
Loving me, loving me, loving me, loving me, yeah
Yeah

Czechia was robbed this should’ve qualified
The best of the non qualifiers. It was a tough semi. She rocked it.
Indeed, instead of Switzerland for sure
@@georgesmith4476so much better than Switzerland
@@teaser6089Switzerland was the best out of all the acts in that semi-final...
Definitely, it was my favorite this semifinal, along with Austria, but that did get through. They're both 90's styled, only in different genres.
Latvia was the worst qualifying out of the 10, Estonia and Netherlands were a joke - exchange them for Czech Republic and San Marino any day!
ITS A CRIIIIIIIIMEEEE THAT IT DIDNT QUALIFY
REAL
I FUCKING KNOW RIGHT
It was the best song
REAL
Yees
I just love how Aiko basically wrote a song about dumping a dude who treated her poorly, took it all the way to Eurovision, got to perform it in front of tens of millions of people, nearly beat the odds (just 5 points away from the final) & seemingly bagged herself a hot new girlfriend on top of it all.
She may not have won in Eurovision, but Aiko has won in life. Kudos to her.
"hot new girlfriend," is that figurative or...?
@@adamhitchcock3723 No, she's apparently dating Megara's drummer now.
Correction: the drummer that Megara brought to Eurovision. Their regular drummer didn't go to Eurovision.
@@philipdawson7800WAIT WHATT
@@ESCOscar Yep. They both posted about it on Twitter & now Aiko is currently hanging out with her in Spain (based on their IG stories).
Imagine ending 11th in the Semi, and another artist expelled the next day. How odd this year was
tbh 11th should've qualified on netherlands place
@@notfizzarolli I think it was too late
@@notfizzarolli that would have been the right call, but @Qwerty-yu9mh is probably correct and it was too late
I love aiko, but Netherlands shouldn't have veen disqualified.
lets disqualify is***l instead, no idea who to disqualify
I don't care about the contest, I just found an artist. Well done Aiko
I was disappointed but so well said. I found a new artist with nostalgic English band air...
instant classic for the playlists!
This ❤❤❤
I know right? Aiko's my new favorite artist
Definitely! The competition was brutal this year, but at least we've got a bunch of new artists to listen to now 😂
How? How has this banger of a song not made it to the final?? Unbelievable, the best song by far!
So sad, she was great
RIGHT!!BUT LATVIA MADE IT?
Latvia qualified instead. 😢
A lot of good and creative songs didn't made it to final :( San marino, italy, malta and etc. They've been so creative and didn't made it
Estonia was so bad, but they are in the final :(
SHE FINISHED 11TH IN HER SEMI AND NEEDED ONLY 5 POINTS TO QUALIFY ARE YOU SERIOUS
both norway and czechia deserved to qualify tho, i would replace austria with czechia
my problem is that they didn't let her participate in the final even if that trash from the Netherlands was disqualified.
@@oof3397 Austria did great the televotes just vote for the dumb songs...Netherlands and Estonia should have been OUT
This, Netherlands and Norway deserved better. Than Spain.
@@flexparachutewho r u calling trash?
Regardless of qualification this was one of the most creative uses of the stage across all the performances
they did czechia so unbelieavably dirty it's not even unfair its criminal
jury didnt wote in semifinals, we did her dirty
i think all slavic nations are in first semi final (Croatia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Serbia, Poland) and they didn't let us vote for the second semi-final for Czechia. So shame for great song.
The order, semi-finals group and all the rest is random
This is my favorite song, I love it. But its a 90's style song. I think that's why its disqualified.
@@camelliam.4235Austria its a 90s style song
Who wants the Czech Republic to get to the final?
MEEEE
ME, if this doesn’t qualify I will cry😭
MEEEEEEE
She does not deserve this
❤❤❤
Just wanted to mention that I was in the Eurovision Village in Malmö, and this song made all the audience stand up (until then most of them had been sitting on the grass). I think she deserved better.
woah thx for the insight
How Czechia did not qualify? Her vibe is magic. Love from Italy
thanks from czechia
From Spain: Czechia is my 3th place of all the songs
So much better than half of the qualifiers.
1000000%%%%
so true
True
Estonia literally sucked so much
@@auzims it's the perfect song for Eurovision, Party, Fun and complete mess
HOW THIS MASTERPIECE DIDN'T QUALIFIED TO THE FINAL? UNBELIEVABLE
This is crazy!!!
Cos the Eurovision is rubbish! And only rubbish can win there …
It s not about music. Best song so far.
They needed more homosexual men in grand final. Ladies had to go home) 💔
Because she botched the singing by singing out of tune several times.
Eurovision continues to amaze me. How did this not qualify?! Thanks Czechia for entering this!
Proud of how much she improved her vocals!
100000000%%%
she 100% did, but it was definitely improved by the FAR better sound mixing then Czechia's NF
@@adrianbeavis9910 tbf I think my bathroom has better sound quality than Czechia's NF
@@dashieprodx true
Literally cried that she didn’t make it through, THE SONG WAS SO GOOD SHE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH!!! so disappointed
YAAASSSS
Same here😢
Sameeee😢
I was gutted as well. Unfortunately most of the people that vote for the Eurovision, just don't have any sense of musical taste.
Because she botched the singing by singing out of tune several times.
I’M SHOCKED HOW DIDNT THAT QUALIFY SHE WAS A POTENTIAL WINNER
I agree 100%
I`m so disappointed. It was my favorite. Love from Ukraine!
Don't get me wrong, I loved the song since it came out, but nah it's not a potential winner
@@francescocastaldo7469 really thought it'd be a top 10 contender in the final tho. shocked it's not gonna be there
Exactly!!!!!
This was truly the best entry, just so 90s cool, great performers, great song!
I still can't get over how much she was robbed and underrated. My favourite song 2024
When your favourite song doesn’t qualify 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
😭
😭
Poland for me
Nápodobně 😢😢😢😢
sameeee : (
Czechia is always underrated, this song and performance deserve appreciation!
It was a weak performance sorry
That is so true...they have good songs every year...
@@user-bw9fk7bc5b just the last two (im from cz)
@@alexaa3518 the song lyrics was the only bad part in my opinion, meanwhile the use of the overhead cage things was well done and clever
I can't fathom how Eurovision robbed the Czech Republic of the final, how is it possible that this song didn't go further, this was my one of the best songs at Eurovision 2024, I kept my fingers crossed for Aiko from the moment she released this song, I feel unsatisfied because of what happened, Aiko you gave 100%❤ of yourself, a bit of a shame, keep it up brother Ahoy from Poland 🇵🇱❤️🇨🇿
Belgium was also robbed
Because she botched the singing by singing out of tune several times.
The fact she almost qualified in this strong af semi final showed how good this song was
She put herself on a pedestal of one of the best rock song performances in Eurovision history
A rock song with the guitar parts deleted?
czechia please be proud of her! she did not deserve the result she got whatsoever and the improvement she made was monumental and im so proud of you aiko and you should be too 🫶🫶
We are really proud of her! Thank you!
i am so proud
Agreed ❤
We are proud ❤❤❤❤🇨🇿
We are!!! Im sad she didnt qualify but she did so gooood i loved it
This was sooooo much better than expected. AIKO completely SMASHEDDDDD this. How did Europe not let this qualify?!?!?
I wasn't allowed to vote!!!
Because she botched the singing by singing out of tune several times.
@@Prometheus4096thats not even true why are you in the comments spreading nonsense?
@@mete8901 I didn't ask if you were tone deaf, yes or no.
The best words of all and absolutely professional song. It sounds like a world-famous trek, not just some ordinary Eurovision song. I love it.
This is my disappointment of the evening. Would gladly exchange Czechia with one of the qualifiers
With estonia 🤢
Estonia was good. have you seen greece?@@szymek7991
With israel
with Switzerland
with Austria
Who is disappointed that the Czechia did not qualify for the final? This was my favorite :(😢😭
Me 😞
❤totally disappointed. Loved this song really. Greetings from Italy
The performance was way too weak
Sorry but it’s a NO
To be honest, this song is trash. Same as the whole competition and most other songs in it.
It became way too comercial over the years and lost all multiculturalism and variety. Every song is like out of a copy machine. Same. Boring.
Why would a Czech girl sing in English for Christ’s sake??? How is the song connected to Czech culture at all? What does it say about us? (Yes, I am Czech.) Nothing!
I’m really embarrassed about this and bitterly disappointed that we didn’t manage to pull off anything better and more original. A song that would make us proud even if we didn’t make it through. Instead, we’re just licking asses, as ever. It’s a shame, really, because we have some excellent musicians…SMH
This song will be dominating my playlists for years - It’s INSANELY GOOD
Aiko you almost did it!!! You were so close to qualifying!!! You remain aikonic and i hope you’ll return some day and get the final!
THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCE THIS YEAR
@vincentesc Indeed
At least in the Semi and it's not even close.
Song? Sure. Perfomance? Not really
This song was just too good for Eurovision
Well said
This was the best use of the floating blocks easily. The camera work and staging were done insanely well. Don't get how this didnt qualify
Damn, one of the few rare songs in eurovision that i could listen some elsewhere than eurovision and didnt even make it to finals.
LOVE FROM POLAND 🇵🇱 Czechia, you surprised me!
zajebiste to jest. Laska rozwalila system. Ale chyba nie przeszlo z tego co czytam?
@@luragg6008Coś tam było nie tak z głosami. Chciałam zagłosować na Czechy to mi powiedziało że głosowanie się już skończyło jak naprawdę jeszcze trwało. Próbowałam na początku. Jakby blokowali czy coś.. zresztą nie pierwszy raz... 😕
@@violetindigo8514 Pokud žiješ v Polsku, bohužel tě systém informoval správně. Pro Česko bys mohl(a) hlasovat jen v případě, že by Luna (případně jiný polský interpret) zpívala ve stejném semifinále, což bohužel nezpívala. Podle pravidel Eurovize máš právo hlasovat pouze v 1. semifinále a ve finále. :(
Też mi się podobała, inna niż reszta
Powinno przejść do finału
How this Aikonic masterpiece didn't qualify 😢?
She gives me Paramore vibes! I actually enjoyed this performance a lot 💗 I’m sorry it didn’t qualify.. Love from Turkey 🇹🇷🤍
I don’t understand why it didn’t make it to the final, this is now my favorite song of all Eurovision😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I can't find a single negative comment about Czechia - such an amazing song, it is CRIMINAL that it didn't make it :(
Would've swapped for greece, latvia or estonia any day :(
Love from UK
Because she botched the singing by singing out of tune several times.
So gutted it did not qualify. Absolutely in love with the song, I keep listening to it ever since this won in CZEV. Well done Aiko, proud of you🖤
Proud of aiko❤
Just found out that Aiko came 11th in the semi. It's so bitter because she works so hard on herself. But I'm thankful for finding an artist, her other songs are absolutely something to check out.
Czechia surprisingly slayed!! The staging really lifted the song. I'm so proud to be Czech. Please let her qualify, she was absolutely stunning!!!!🇨🇿♥♥ Vote 5♥
Very good song.
I’m with you! I love her song😭
I can't believe she didn't make it 😭 she did amazing, you can definitely be proud
Absolutely. When I saw they'd gone with dancers instead of a band, I was skeptical but use of the screens was fantastic.
Exactly my feelings
Come on, Aiko worked hard on her vocals. And, to be honest, this song stands apart, it's different full of energy and deserved to be in the final!!!!
I don't care if she won or not, I've got a new artist to listen to now
FRFR
She has improved SOOO much in a couple of months! I voted for it, and it 100% deserved to qualify! Love Czechia from Israel
I don't care about the result, the Czechia has been giving us AMAZING performances for years now!
Thank you, Aiko, you are iconic!
*Aikonic
Best song of this year. Still shocked how it hasn't qualified 😢😢😢
we may not have qualified, but I am still extremely proud ❤️ the performance was amazing
I think this performance was really cool! They utilized tha boxes in the roof very well! Robbed
Too bad she didn't qualify.
In terms of composition, the song is definitely one of the better ones and Aiko cleaned her vocals up drastically from whatever the hell her mess of a first live performance of the song was.
I think the vocals still are mostly off which is probably why it don’t make it. This song is awesome tho
@@bobby6427 honestly valid
@@linneal5105 after this I watched the other performance cause ppl said it was so bad. And holy hell she came a long way this was a pretty respectable performance. But the studio version was faaaaar superior. This performance also has some backing tracks vs the other
@@bobby6427 for sure, I'm sure she put in a lot of effort, that's why I think it's a pity she didn't qualify considering the drastic glow up, would have made the final much spicier compared to some of the most IMO questionable entries that DID qualify
She was absolutely robbed this performance was too good yall were not ready for this
Its a joke it didn't qualify! By far the best performance not only to qualify but to be in first places in final! Love from Greece.
I sincerely don't understand how this song didn't make the cut for the grand final.
One thing for sure - now I'm a fan of Aiko!
Because she botched the singing by singing out of tune several times.
She was literally the best one of the night 🤦🏻♀️
10000000000%%%%%%
feminist 🤦♂
@@ocoossss how? XD
@@ocoossss This song is the only one dance-able. she's rocking
She botched the singing by singing out of tune several times.
I honestly have no interest to watch the final without this masterpiece
Same, I literally cried bc she didn’t get through, her song was way better than most of the others in the semi final it’s not fair
Same, no finals to watch this year, lmao.
How the hell did this not qualify?? I honestly think this is the best song of ALL countries in the competition this year. What a robbery
One of the few songs from this year I actually enjoy listening to
Aiko had the best glowup of this year idc what anyone says
Also extremly robbed
It's a shame that Czechia didn't get any further. I love your song. I voted for you, greetings from Austria! 🇦🇹
Aiko is soo good! I was so glad that she performed so well on stage such a difficult song. One of my top favourites this year for sure. Full of charisma, full of power, full of live. Great stuff!! Very unfortunately finished 11th in the second semi final with 38 points, only 5 behind my other favourite Norway. 28th place overall.
I’m so sad this came 11th… This deserved the final so badly❤️
Who wants Czechia to qualify
Me me meeeeeeee
Me! One of my favorite entries this year but we couldn't vote yesterday 😪
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Sorry but no
@@alexaa3518 she didn't qualify but she was really good
This is so AIKOnic💙❤️🤍💙🤍❤️🇨🇿🇨🇿 Love from Poland🇵🇱🇵🇱
This not being in the final is a HATECRIME… wtf
The satging, singing, song mesage, dancing. All BRUTAL!!!
Aikonic. She worked so hard on this. To the grand final 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Europe, please vote for this! Aiko, big support from Croatia! ❤️
Nevjerojatno da nije prošla 😦
Amazing song from Croatia congratulations !!❤️
We're so sorry 😭🇵🇱 I'm in shock, I thought she had it in the bag
I meni je bila među najboljima večeras, baš mi je dobra pjesma, žao mi je što nije prošla.
Possibly favorite out of the 2nd semi-final. Thx for performing!
This song was amongst the best! ❤
The best tonight,different and high quality. Happy for her,she was really very confident.
I’m devastated to see Aiko left out of the final she deserved it so much after all the work she’s done since she won ESCZ
you were truly aikonic and you won a fan of yours
Love from France you can be proud of you you represented Czech Republic perfectly
🇫🇷❤️🇨🇿
The songs that didn't make it to the final are so much better then the ones I'm watching now in the grand finale .
10000000%%%%%
which ones did you like?
This one was good !
THIS SHOULD HAVE QUALIFIED!🤍💙❤️✨
Wow I cant believe this didnt qualify, was such an amazing performance
Did 180 compared to the national final’s performance. Bravo👏🏻
She improved so much and still didn't qualify 😭
@@bakir877It's literally a 'Blood and Glitter'-Situation.
@@nick3805 Also Emma song in 2104 (though she didn't perform very well live, admittedly)
F***ing love this song!!
Best stage Best song Best energy. We live you AIKO ❤❤❤❤
*love
Czech friends, this was maybe the best performance of the night. So shame you didn't qualify! Hugs from Croatia ❤
Aiko slayed! 👌🤩 Thanks for your support and greetings from Czechia! 🇨🇿
Should have qualified. Epic performance.
Wow. Girl, you are super. I'm shocked they didn't admit her into final part.
Czechia deserved final. Love from Poland
Підтримую , вони мали бути у фіналі !
Poland as well, they had such a good song
@@leobe2104 but vocals were unfortunately not so good 🤧
If she doesn't qualify, there's no justice in this world
This is ridicilous... it was the best song...
…and there’s no justice!
Israel participates and qualifies so there is no justice anyway.
Aiko absolutely SLAYED. The progress she has made since preselection is a big surprise. The song was great but she did need to improve a vocal and she did an amazing job. The whole show and her charisma are so amazing. I'm absolutely shocked and disappointed she's not going to the final :( So robbed, one on my fav performances this evening!
This should have been in the Grand Final and be in 10 first places!!!
this song deserves a spot in the top 5!
100000%%%
Sorry Czechia, the song deserved to qualify ! Love from France ! 🇨🇵❤🇨🇿
Czechia really stepped up her singing on stage! It worked very well, pleasant surprise and congratulations to Aiko for improving her vocals😊
Agreed. So sad it wasn't enough 😢
I'm still bitter about this not qualifying, a favorite!!
Айко всегда останется в наших сердцах 😢❤
Best tonight so far!
I absolutely agree
Listening to this song non-stop, should have been in the top 10 in the final - 🇧🇪
We’re 5 days later and I keep watching this multiple times everyday..
Truly one of the biggest NQ robbery.
Full of energy fun performance, good luck *Aiko* 🤞🏻
Aiko se neskutečně zlepšila od prvních momentů. Vystoupení bylo mega povedené, měl jsem husí kůži. Škoda že to nevyšlo 😢
AIKO I'M SO SORRY YOU SHOULD'VE QUALIFIED
She was so good :/
So sad for her
This is a delightful song! Great show! I'm very disappointed that this performance wasn't in the finals! This song is catchy! Much more interesting than most of the finalists! Not fair!
This was such a refreshment!!! Well done Czechia🇨🇿❤️🇷🇸 wanna see you guys in the final💪💪💪
