Iceland: Yohanna - Is It True?

Eurovision Song Contest · Other Songs - Eurovision Song Contest

You say you really know me,

You're not afraid to show me,

What is in your eyes.



So tell me about the rumours

Are they only rumours?

Are they only lies?



Falling out of a perfect dream,

Coming out of the blue.



Is it true?

Is it over?

Did I throw it away?

Was it you?

Did you tell me you would never leave me this way?



If you really knew me

You couldn't do this to me

You would be my friend



If one of us is lying

There's no use in trying

No need to pretend



Falling out of a perfect dream,

Coming out of the blue.



Is it true?

Is it over?

Did I throw it away?

Was it you?

Did you tell me you would never leave me this way?



Is it true?

Is it over?

Did I throw it away?

Was it you?

Did you tell me you would never leave me this way?



Is it real?

Did I dream it?

Will I wake from this pain

Is it true?

Is it over?

Baby did I throw it away?

Is It True?

Yohanna's "Is It True?" served as the representative track for the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005. The song blends pop and electronic elements with a distinctive, rhythmic vocal style that became a hallmark of Yohanna's career. While the song did not secure a top position in the final standings, it remains a notable example of the Dutch contribution to the competition during the mid-2000s. The recording reflects the genre trends of the era, characterized by upbeat tempos and melodic structures designed for television performance. Yohanna has since established herself as a prominent figure in Dutch pop music, with this contest song marking an early chapter in her extensive discography and public musical identity.
