The official video accompanying the song has now been placed on the Eurovision.tv website, and on YouTube. It has already amassed nearly 2000 views in such a short space of time.

They are not the only duo this year,with the Netherlands also sending a boy, girl singer. The video is typically Italian and see's the two young singers singing, "What is Love"? in Italian with English subtitles. It has also been filmed in Venice, which is fitting as it is one of the more romantic locations in Italy.

With under two months until the 2018 Junior Eurovision begins, the artist and song selections are coming in thick and fast. This year a record twenty countries have confirmed participations, with debuts from Kazakhstan, and Wales. It will be a tough competition this year with more countries than ever.
