They are playing their new song "San Francisco boy" in the first qualifying round in Luleå. The collaboration was secretly released on Tiktok over a week ago and has not yet appeared on the streaming services.

The duo Hooja is from Gällivare and broke through in 2022 with songs like "Donkey Kong" and "Banan, melon, kiwi och citron". They have previously collaborated with, among others, Miriam Bryant and it caused great attention when the masked duo's identities were revealed by Aftonbladet in 2023.

Käärijä combines rap with metal and electronic music. He broke through as Finland's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, with the song "Cha cha cha", which finished in second place after Sweden's "Tattoo" with Loreen.
