This was confirmed by SBS and reported by multiple outlets in late February/early March 2026. [cite ][cite ][cite ]
- Her entry is the single Eclipse, co-written with Ferras Alqaisi, Jonas Myrin, and Michael Fatkin, released around the same time as the announcement. She and SBS positioned Eclipse as a bold, cinematic track suitable for the 70th anniversary edition. [cite ][cite ]
