The official music video for “maman” the French entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, has been released.
Louane has released the official music video for her song for the 69th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. The music video for “maman” was directed by Mila Runser, and its release comes around three weeks before the final takes place in Basel, Switzerland.
Anne Edwige Maria Peichert, better known by her stage name Louane Emera, or simply Louane, was born in Hénin-Beaumont in northern France. She first came to fame after participating in the second season of The Voice: la plus belle voix in 2013, where she reached the semi-finals.
France will be represented this year by Louane and her song “Maman”. As a Big Five member, France is automatically qualified for the Grand Final of May 17. Before the final, France will also perform during the second semi-final of May 15 as the country is due to vote during that semi-final.

France was one of seven countries to participate in the first Eurovision Song Contest in 1956. Since then they have participated in every contest aside from 1974 and 1982. Their withdrawal in 1974 was caused by the death of President Georges Pompidou, while 1982’s withdrawal was a result of TF1 declining to enter the contest. France has won the contest on five occasions, the most recent being in 1977 when Marie Myriam performed “L’oiseau et l’enfant”. France’s best result of the 21st century came in 2021 when Barbara Pravi finished second in Rotterdam.
