Azerbaijan Presents…fully
The old saying of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is well-heeded in Eurovision.
That is why Azerbaijan’s Ictimai Television has recruited the same Swedish team of songwriters Stefan Örn, Anders Bagge, Johan Kronlund and Sandra Bjurman that came up with last year’s winner Running Scared to write this year’s entry which will be called When the music dies. The song was recorded with notable Azerbaijani musicians and “decorated” with traditional Azerbaijani instruments.

Despite the fact that a version in Azerbaijani will be recorded, it’s expected that Sabina Babayeva will sing in English for the final.
