At the announcement of her win, Susan expressed sheer joy and excitement: “Since I was little, it has always been my dream to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest. It is all the more exciting that I am now allowed to represent Germany at Junior Eurovision. I hope that I can make my country and the people who stand behind me proud.”
Next for Germany, ZDF is set to produce a 2-part documentary called Your Song for Warsaw, showcasing the exciting journey of the entry, Stronger With You, from the song's composition by Levent Geiger to the casting process and final performance.
