"Asteromata" (Greek: Αστερομάτα, pronounced [asteromaˈta]; transl. "Starry-Eyed Girl"), also spelled "Asteromáta",[2] is a song by Greek singer Klavdia, written by Arcade and Klavdia with production handled by Arcade. It was released on 31 January 2025 and represented Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025. It peaked at number three in Greece and was certified platinum by IFPI Greece.
Background and composition
[edit]"Asteromata" was written by Arcade alongside Klavdia Papadopoulou.
The song talks about Greek, and other, refugees and that special bond between them and their home land, which they never forget, wherever they are. A metaphorical dialogue is being formed between a mother and her missing child, which comforts her and viceversa.
In an interview, Klavdia, who is of Pontic Greek descent,[3][4] explained that the message of the song intends to honor those who were forced to abandon their homeland, transmitting a message of hope and resilience.[5]
