"Empires" is a song by Polish singer Alicja Szemplińska. It was selected to be the entrant for Poland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 on 23 February 2020. Szemplińska would have performed the song at the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands on 14 May 2020, if not for the cancelation of Eurovision 2020.[1]
Background
The song was composed by Patryk Kumór, Dominic Buczkowski-Wojtaszek, Frazer Mac and Laurell Barker as 17-year-old Szemplińska's original song to perform during Poland's national selection for Eurovision, Szansa na sukces, which Szemplińska subsequently won.[2]
Eurovision Song Contest
The song will represent Poland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020, after Alicja Szemplińska was chosen through Szansa na sukces, the national selection process organised by TVP2 to select Poland's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. On 28 January 2020, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in. Poland was placed into the second semi-final, to be held on 14 May 2020, and was scheduled to perform in the first half of the show.
