Kyle Alessandro, the 19-year-old Eurovision entrant from Norway, clarified that his song "Lighter," inspired by his mother's cancer struggle, is not about sharing cigarettes. In an interview with Odette Hella'Grand, he explained the emotional background of the song, which reflects his mother's advice to "never lose my light." The moment became widely recognized as an awkward interaction, prompting mixed reactions on social media, from laughter about the misunderstanding to admiration for Alessandro's demeanor under pressure. The song's empowering lyrics emphasize self-empowerment and resilience.
The song is called Lighter right, like the fire lighter for cigarettes? Odette Hella'Grand asked the singer, who grimaced. Do you always have to ask outside the club for cigarettes?
It's about my mum actually. She got diagnosed with cancer two years ago, and she told me to never lose my light, that's where lighter comes from.
Kyle handled it with grace. For only being 19, he's so on top of things,
I don't think I've ever seen a more awkward Eurovision moment than what just happened here.
