The Latvian national final of "Supernova 2016" took place in the LTV studios in Riga. After two pre-rounds and one Semi-Final it was time for Latvia to decide the representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 in Stockholm. In the end it was top favorite Justs who have won the competition with his song "Heartbeat" against second placed band Catalepsia with their song "Damnation". The show was hosted from Ketija Šēnberga and Toms Grēviņš.

This was the full line-up:

Catalepsia - "Damnation"
MyRadiantU - "We Will Be Stars"
Justs - "Heartbeat"
Marta Ritova - "Not From This World"

After all contestants performed their entry the voting lines were open for the public. The winner was chosen only by the audience. Justs will represent Latvia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with his winning song "Heartbeat".

"Heartbeat" is written by Aminata, who have represented Latvia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with her selfwritten song "Love Injected". She premiered yesterday her brand new single "Fighter". After the show we talked to Aminata about her Eurovision experiences, working with Justs and about her new single "Fighter". The interview will online next days..

"The main motive in the song is about lost love and pain that it gives. It is like prayer to forget all the bad that happened and start everything from the beginning. Even maybe this prayer could not be heard and just resound in the silence, you can’t move on without saying it out loud." said Justs in our interview some weeks ago about "Heartbeat". After he won yesterday we did a quick interview with Justs , which will be online next days. Stay tuned...
