Safura was born on 20 September 1992. She comes from a family of creative people. Her father is an artist and her mother is a pianist and fashion designer. She started to show an interest in fashion since early childhood. She showed her offbeat talents in fashion design, while working on the very first stage outfits which she created with her mother's help.
She started to sing at the age of three. At six she had a first stage performance and since then she always has been trying out in different competitions. She is a winner of Azerbaijan's talent show "Yene Ulduz" based on the Pop Idol format. Safura is a young sex symbol of Azerbaijan. This red-blooded young woman has a perfect combination to represent Azerbaijan - the Land of Fire. She is self-confident, stylish and talented.
Safura graduated from music school where she played violin, though she always dreamed about playing saxophone. And if you want something badly enough, you go ahead and do it. So now Safura is the only female celebrity in Azerbaijan who can play this tough instrument! Now she is ready to show her talent to the whole Europe at Eurovision Song Contest.
The national broadcaster of Azerbaijan, ITV, held a semi-final and a final to choose its representative for this year's Eurovision Song Contest. These paticipiants performed at the semifinal:

• Milk & Kisses - I Am On Fire

At the final night, there were five songs and three participiants competing for the ticket for Oslo. Those acts were:

Don't Let the Morning Come
The professional jury had chosen Safura to represent Azerbaijan before the song Drip Drop was announced to be performed in Oslo.
You are my man, you are my half
Tell me what's happening
I know something's wrong
I can tell when you lie
I can tell you've stopped trying
And these last three weeks passed and we barely talked
I think I know and it's breaking my heart
Am I in or am I out?
Can I love you forever through this?
Can I trust in you forever through this?
I don't know how to stop, how to stop
These teardro-o-ops
That drip drop, drip drop
Drip drop, drip drop
Whoah... whoah...
These teardro-o-ops
That drip drop, drip drop
Drip drop, drip drop
Whoah... whoah...
Tell me where have you been? Why are you late?
You smell like lipstick again
Come on, answer my question
Say something
Why are you acting out?
Oh, say it's in my head
Can I love you forever through this?
Can I trust in you forever through this?
I don't know how to stop, how to stop
These teardro-o-ops
That drip drop, drip drop
Drip drop, drip drop
Whoah... whoah...
I don't wanna cry
I don't wanna hear your name
If this is where it ends
I don't wanna run
Run away from myself
And be lost again...
(Can I love you forever through this?)
Oh no no no... oh no no no...
Can I trust in you forever through this?
I don't know (These teardro-o-ops)
I don't know (That drip drop, drip drop)
I don't know (Drip drop, drip drop)
Whoah... whoah...
