Bara bada bastu

"Bara bada bastu" (transl. "[Just] take a sauna") is a song by KAJ, a group from the Swedish-speaking minority in Finland, released as a single on 21 February 2025 through Warner Music Sweden. The song was written by the group alongside Anderz Wrethov, Kristofer Strandberg, and Robert Skowronski. After winning Melodifestivalen 2025 with the most votes in the history of the competition, the song went on to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, finishing fourth with 321 points. A comedic epadunk song that celebrates Finnish sauna culture, its lyrics are in the Vörå dialect of Finland Swedish, with a few words in Finnish. It is the first Swedish-language song at Eurovision since 2012, and the first representing Sweden since 1998. "Bara bada bastu" has received praise for its catchiness and journalists noted its departure from the "serious" pop sound typical of Swedish Eurovision entries. The song reached number one in Sweden, Finland and Norway. "Bara bada bastu" spent 13 weeks at number one in Sweden, making it one of the longest-running chart-toppers since national records began in 1977.
