Eurovision fans probably remember Catharina Zühlke best from UMK 2017, where she took the second place right after the winner Norma John. Zühlke’s song in UMK 2017 was Perfect Villain:

According to Yle, Zühlke’s UMK 2020 -song Eternity is about the power of love. This is how Zühlke herself describes the song:

When Eternity was born, all the pieces just clicked into the right places as by themselves. I got a strong feeling that this song has a bigger meaning.

UMK 2020 -finalists have been chosen by a professional jury, which consists of many Finnish music industry professionals. The jury has given some comments of the six competing songs. This is what the jury said about Eternity by Catharina Zühlke:

A touching story, a dynamic song and a great interpretation by Catharina all make this a potential world-beater at the Eurovision Song Contest. Henrik Tala, the Finn behind the successful Norwegian entry in the 2019 contest, has again shown that he is a world-class writer and producer of pop music
