Eden Golan and her song "October Rain" have been chosen to participate in the annual competition. If the text is refused by the organization, the country threatens to withdraw from the competition.

“Dancing in the storm/We've got nothing to hide/And leave the world behind/And I promise it'll never happen again/I'm still wet from this October rain," says a verse of the song. The EBU said it was "considering the words" and that a final decision had not yet been made.
