YEREVAN, MARCH 3, ARMENPRESS. Athena Manoukian’s Chains on You is getting revamped after winning the Armenian national selection for the Eurovision 2020 Song Contest, according to Eurovoix.

According to the report the production team of Manoukian are currently “revamping the backing track for the song and incorporating stronger Armenian instrumentation”.

 Eurovision 2020 will take place in Rotterdam, the Netherlands from May 12th to May 16th.

“I wanted to create a hit that would represent my strong personality. Me and my producer worked a lot on it. I wrote the lyrics in a bus when I was traveling. The meaning of the song is very important, many don’t realize it initially. The song is about the treasures of people, about diamonds – talent, gift, that belong only to us. Sometimes they try to take these diamonds away from us. I want to say, that these diamonds can shine only with us, because they belong to us”, Manoukian said about her song in an interview with ARMENPRESS before winning the national selection.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
