After last year's disappointing 19th place finish, the Greek artist is hoping her song is enough to bring Eurovision back to Greece after a 13-year absence.
Meet Yianna Terzi...
Who is Yianna Terzi?
Greek-born Yianna Terzi hails from a musical family and was inspired by artists like Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson from a young age.
Yianna studied a degree in theory of music before signing a record deal with Universal Music and releasing her debut album Gyrna to kleidi (Turn The Key).
The lead single from the album, Pou kai Pou, was a huge hit in the Greek charts. This led the multi-talented musician to receive nominations for Best New Artist at the Cyprus Music Awards and the Arion Awards.
After her success in Greece with her first album, Yianna moved to New York nine years ago to launch her musical career in the US.
Not long after making the move, Yianna released her first English language single called Love is Your Name which became a hit within the city's club scene.
