Can-linn's entry, 'Heartbeat' is a passionate song that reflects modern Ireland's will to rise again as a nation and shows why we are recognised globally as makers of fine music.
'Heartbeat' was co-written by an experienced team of Irish and Swedish songwriters:
•Hazel Kaneswaran -- Irish singer/songwriter who sang for Dove in 1996 and has since presented numerous TV shows and performed around the country.
•Jonas Gladnikoff -- wrote two successful Irish Eurovision entries including "It's For You" by Niamh Kavanagh in 2010.
•Rasmus Palmgren -- writer of the current Swedish Idol winning song.
•Patrizia Helander -- Swedish Idol 2007 finalist and experimental artist.

"Being a mentor in Eurosong has been a joy. I chose a great pop song with a Celtic twist as I love traditional Irish music. The name 'Can-linn' is derived from Irish 'to sing together'. I think that's appropriate as we want to work together and bring the Eurovision home!"
