"Snap" (stylised in all capitals) is a song released by Armenian singer Rosa Linn, on 19 March 2022.[2] The song was written and composed by Linn, with Larzz Principato, Courtney Harrell, Allie Crystal and Tamar Kaprelian.[3] The song represented Armenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, Italy.[4]

At Eurovision, Rosa Linn became the first artist since 2017, to qualify for the final for Armenia, finishing in 20th place with 61 points. Following the contest, the song went viral on social media platform TikTok.[5] "Snap" reached the top of the charts in the Flanders region of Belgium, the top ten in Austria, Netherlands, Ireland, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland. The song also reached the charts in 23 other music markets, including peaking at number 23 on the UK Singles Chart, making Rosa Linn the highest-charting foreign act from Eurovision 2022 in the UK.[6] It also debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 97, becoming the second Eurovision song of the 21st century to enter the chart.[7]

Background and release

"Snap” was officially released on 19 March 2022, but a snippet of the song was leaked a week earlier.[8] It was co-written by Rosa Linn with Larzz Principato, Courtney Harrell, Allie Crystal and Tamar Kaprelian, with production handled by Alex Salibian, Ethan Schneiderman, Larzz Principato, Ben Samama, and Lilith Navasardyan. The writing sessions for "Snap" took place in-between Los Angeles and Yerevan.

In an interview for Wiwibloggs, Rosa Linn stated that this song is a personal story everyone can relate to: “I think we’ve all been at a snapping point, where it felt like there’s no way out and that the entire world is just crumbling down around you. You start questioning everything, including yourself. I have been there. And what I realized was that I had the strength to shape my reality – it just took getting out of my own way and finding inner-peace. It’s all about self-love and accepting that you are enough. Writing 'Snap' was a form of therapy for me and I hope that it can be that for others who are also going through hard times.”[3]

Music video

The music video was released on 19 March 2022 and was directed by Aramayis Hayrapetyan. Hayrapetyan stated that "[o]nce I heard “Snap”, I kept thinking that I had to show the artist's emotions as comprehensibly and correctly as possible. Not leaving the artist in the background was an important precondition for me. We made the video for the purpose of giving the viewers a chance to travel to another, extraordinary reality through artistic and visual solutions".[3]

Selection

Armenia used an internal selection to determine its entry. The candidates rumoured to be in the running were Athena Manoukian, Saro Gevorgyan, Kamil Show and Rosa Linn.[9][10] On 15 February 2022, AMPTV dismissed claims that Rosa Linn had already been selected, stating that no decision had been made yet and that an announcement would come in March.[11] On 4 March, it was reported in several Armenian media outlets that two singers were in the running to represent Armenia: Rosa Linn and Saro Gevorgyan.[12]

Rosa Linn was announced as the chosen entrant on 11 March 2022.[13]

At Eurovision

According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. On 25 January 2022, an 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. Armenia was placed into the first semi-final, held on 10 May 2022, and performed in the second half of the show.[14] Armenia qualified for the final for the first time since 2017. They placed 20th with 61 points.

Commercial performance

A few months after Eurovision, "Snap" went viral on social media platform TikTok, leading to an increase of streams on Spotify and topping the daily viral charts across many Latin American countries. "Snap" started entering numerous countries' national charts, surpassing the Ukrainian winning song, "Stefania" by Kalush Orchestra, for the most chart entries by a Eurovision song from 2022.[3]

The song has so far reached the top ten in Switzerland, Norway, the Netherlands and Ireland, and charted within the top 20 in Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, and Sweden. In the United Kingdom, the song peaked at number 23 on the UK Singles Chart, making Rosa Linn the highest-charting foreign act from Eurovision 2022 in the UK.[5] It also debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 97.[15]
