Latvia debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2000 and quickly found success, winning in 2002 with Marie N’s I Wanna. Known for its diverse entries and willingness to experiment with different genres, Latvia has delivered a mix of pop, rock, and alternative styles, often featuring English lyrics to broaden its appeal.
The national selection, Supernova, has been a key part of Latvia’s Eurovision strategy since 2015, showcasing a wide range of artists and genres. Notable entries include Love Injected by Aminata, which finished sixth in 2015 and is Latvia’s best result since its victory, and Heartbeat by Justs in 2016, which also reached the final.
In recent years, Latvia has struggled to qualify for the finals, despite entries that have been well-regarded by fans for their creativity and unique staging. The country’s approach often emphasizes bold artistic choices, memorable performances, and genre diversity, keeping Latvia an unpredictable and intriguing participant at Eurovision.
