Composers of the song are Dimitris Kontopoulos and Arcade while the team of its lyricists includes Dimitris Kontopoulos, Arcade and Sharon Vaughn .

Stefania has a stong voice and a beautiful tone. To be honest it wasn’t easy to fina the suitable song for Stefania, since we wanted it to fit her age and her personality,but i believe we made it. It’s my first time i’m collaborating with Arcade for the Eurovision Song Contest, a very talented team of conposers and producers and it it always an honor to work with Sharon Vaughn, a great lyricist with international hits.
The director of Suoergirl’s music video Kostas Karidas said about the video clip:
We created a story with surrealistic elements. We follow a yound girl that finds the strength to embrace her uniqueness in a society that confronts her as a stranger. It’s an exploration journey of her strenght within her. The music video comes to fill out the song which is dynamic and refreshing. All the team is made up by professionals , from which each one gave 100% in his sector in order the result to be perfect. Also we had an excellent cooperation with Stefania, who surprised us with her hard work and acting skills.
Fokas Evagellinos will be responsible for the Stefania’s staging in Rotterdam Ahoy.

STEFANIA
SUPERG!RL Lyrics
Keep the phone booth, don’t need a super car
No x-ray vision to show them who we are
I got the power, climb up the tower
Save all humanity on zero hour
Na-na-nothing can stop me, no-nobody can hold me down
Standing in the light, it’s a new world, let me be your supergirl
Na-na-nothing can stop me, no-nobody can hold us down
Fighting in the dark over true love, let me be your supergirl
I’m your supergirl
Fighting from the heart
I’m your supergirl, supergirl, unana
In this crazy world, crazy world, unana
I’m your supergirl, supergirl, unana
Fighting from the heart, from the heart, unana
There’s no wonder it takes a woman
To be a hero more than a human
To overflow your heart with electricity
Find through the shadows your true identity
Na-na-nothing can stop me, no-nobody can hold me down
Standing in the light, it’s a new world, let me be your supergirl
Na-na-nothing can stop me, no-nobody can hold us down
Fighting in the dark over true love, let me be your supergirl
I’m your supergirl
Fighting from the heart
I’m your supergirl, supergirl, unana
In this crazy world, crazy world, unana
I’m your supergirl, supergirl, unana
Fighting from the heart, from the heart, unana
Fly, give me a signal and I’ll fly
On a supersonic high
Like a hero in the sky
I will stand by your side
I’m your supergirl, supergirl, unana
In this crazy world, crazy world, unana
I’m your supergirl, supergirl, unana
Fighting from the heart
I’m your supergirl, supergirl, unana
In this crazy world, crazy world, unana
I’m your supergirl, supergirl, unana
Fighting from the heart
I’m your supergirl
