Luxembourg’s return to the Eurovision Song Contest last year thrilled many fans, so it’s no surprise that in 2025, the country held a national final with the same vibrant energy.

This year also marks Luxembourg’s 40th anniversary of participation in Eurovision. In a fiercely competitive selection, the victory went to Laura Thron. Unlike many of Luxembourg’s past representatives, who hailed from other countries, Laura is a native Luxembourger—a rarity in the nation’s Eurovision history. The 25-year-old singer was discovered by songwriters Julien Salvia and Ludovic-Alexandre Vidal, who were searching for the perfect voice for their composition. In the final, Laura received the highest jury votes and placed second in the public vote—enough to secure her ticket to Basel.

A passionate musician and dancer from an early age, Laura studied piano, keyboard, violin, chamber music, and dance at the Royal Institute for Music and Pedagogy in Namur, Belgium. She now shares her expertise as a music teacher.

Laura’s song, “La Poupée Monte Le Son” (which translates to “The Doll Turns Up the Sound”), carries a clear nod to France Gall’s iconic Eurovision-winning entry, “Poupée de Cire, Poupée de Son.” This homage celebrates the song that secured Luxembourg’s second victory in the contest.

For her stage performance, Laura is set to embody a doll-like character, though the song itself tells a story of a small but powerful revolution. With a charming retro feel, “La Poupée Monte Le Son” evokes the spirit of the 1960s while incorporating a fresh, modern arrangement.

As Luxembourg aims for another strong result this year, fans hope this momentum will inspire the country to remain a part of Eurovision for years to come.
