In 2016, Levina was announced as one of the 33 shortlisted acts for Unser Song 2017.[5] On 6 January 2017, she was confirmed to be one of the five finalists.[6] During the show, Levina performed a cover of "When We Were Young" by Adele for the cover round.[7] She ended up advancing to the final as the sole artist left, performing the songs "Wildfire" and "Perfect Life". The German public went on to choose the latter as the winner. Levina will now perform "Perfect Life" at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Kiev. As Germany is a member of the "Big Five", she will automatically advance to the final, held on 13 May 2017.[8][9]
