Sviatlana Tarabarova and the silver medalist of Junior Eurovision 2025, Sofia Nersesyan, have released a joint song, "Zapletu vinochok." This is reported by Wave RBC.UA, citing the track's premiere on YouTube. The recording is already available on music platforms, and the duo's live performance is scheduled for the final of the National Selection for Junior Eurovision 2026. ### From "Motanka" to a duet According to the artists, the idea for the new collaboration was born during their trip to Junior Eurovision in Georgia. Previously, it was Tarabarova who wrote the song "Motanka" for the young singer, with which Nersesyan took second place at the 2025 contest and won the public vote. Already in Georgia, Sofia asked Sviatlana to write her another, "strong" song, and the artists later decided to perform it together. ### The image of the wreath as a talisman Tarabarova is also the author of "Zapletu vinochok," in which she poured her own experiences as a mother and her wishes for Ukrainian children. "I wanted to weave into it love, protection, a happy fate, and the most important wish for our children — a clean and free sky," the singer said. The song is based on the image of the Ukrainian wreath as a talisman: periwinkle symbolizes fidelity, chamomile — tenderness, the poppy flower — a long life, and the blue ribbons embody a clean and free sky. ### Sofia Nersesyan's reaction The young singer noted that she immediately felt the warmth of the composition. "It is about the happiness that one wants to wish to every child. I am very glad that this time Sviatlana and I are singing together," said Nersesyan. Thus, the track became a continuation of the creative partnership that began with "Motanka." ### Live premiere in September The live premiere of the duo was announced for September 26, 2026: Tarabarova and Nersesyan will perform on the stage of the final of the National Selection for Junior Eurovision 2026. Until then, listeners can familiarize themselves with the recording of "Zapletu vinochok" on music platforms. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [After "Motanka": Tarabarova and Sofia Nersesyan sang about a happy childhood](https://wave.rbc.ua/ukr/stars/pislya-motanki-tarabarova-ta-sofiya-nersesyan-1789040553.html) - Первичный источник: премьера «Заплету віночок», цитаты обеих артисток, символы венка, дата живой премьеры 26.09.2026. - [Sviatlana Tarabarova and Sofia Nersesyan combined their voices in a new tender song – "Zapletu ..."](https://24tv.ua/show24/ru/svetlana-tarabarova-sofija-nersesjan-zapletu-vinochok-slushaj_n3139586) - Подтверждает факт выхода совместной песни «Заплету віночок». - [Junior Eurovision 2025: when and under what number will Ukraine perform](https://www.unian.net/lite/show/dityache-yevrobachennya-2025-hto-ta-koli-predstavlyatime-ukrajinu-na-konkursi-13185714.html) - Контекст участия Украины в Детском Евровидении-2025; не противоречит ядру статьи. - ["This is politics": Tarabarova revealed why Ukraine was "convicted" at "Junior Eurovision"](https://glavred.info/starnews/eto-politika-tarabarova-raskryla-pochemu-ukrainu-zasudili-na-detskom-evrovidenii-10727255.html) - Дополнительный контекст о оценках конкурса; не затрагивает факты о новой песне. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: Who wrote the song "Zapletu vinochok"? **A:** The composition was written by Sviatlana Tarabarova, who poured into the lyrics her experiences as a mother and her wishes for Ukrainian children. ### Q: How did the idea for the joint duet come about? **A:** The idea was born during the trip to Junior Eurovision 2025 in Georgia, where Sofia Nersesyan asked Tarabarova to write her another song, after which the artists decided to perform it together. ### Q: When will the live premiere of the duet take place? **A:** The live premiere was announced for September 26, 2026 — on the stage of the final of the National Selection for Junior Eurovision 2026. ### Q: What does the wreath symbolize in the song's lyrics? **A:** The wreath serves as a talisman: periwinkle — fidelity, chamomile — tenderness, the poppy flower — a long life, and the blue ribbons — a clean and free sky.
