Background

According to Harris, "Rockstars" was written after Harris watched his favorite episode of The Office, "Finale". A quote from character Andy Bernard, "I wish there was a way to know you’re in the Good Old Days – before you’ve actually left them", would inspire the song for Harris.[2]

At Eurovision

According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. As a member of the "Big Five", Germany automatically qualifies to compete in the final on 14 May 2022.[3] In addition to their participation in the final, Germany is also required to broadcast and vote in one of the two semi-finals. This was decided via a draw held during the semi-final allocation draw on 25 January 2022, when it was announced that Germany will be voting in the second semi-final.[4]
