A re-write on the cards for “Lie to Me”

Of course, as we previously discussed, “Lie to Me” contains three uses of expletive language. This breaks the EBU rules in regards to songs which can be performed at Eurovision.
Our colleagues at Eurovoix revealed this week that Mikolas will be travelling to Austria to work on the clean version of his song for Eurovision.
