Months after the Eurovision Song Contest, artist Antigoni has shared reflections on her experience representing Cyprus with the song "Jalla". Although she finished in 19th place, the artist noted that the track achieved commercial success in several European countries and resonated with audiences, marking a significant milestone in her musical career.

In an exclusive interview with okmag, Antigoni described the year-long process as a dreamlike experience.

She also highlighted the guidance she received from Eleni Foureira and expressed deep gratitude for the support received from audiences in Greece and Cyprus.

While the singer continues to process the whirlwind of events from the competition, she remains focused on the lessons learned during this period. The interview concludes her retrospective on the 2026 contest, marking a transition in her career as she moves past the intense pressures of the Eurovision promotional circuit.
