Pray for Me (Kristin Husøy song)

"Pray for Me" was composed and written by Dutch songwriters Galeyn Tenhaeff, Marcia Thadea Angele Sondeijker, Neil Hollyn, and Roel Rats. The latter also produced the song.^[1] The song, originally written in a man's perspective, was described as a portrayal of a person in a difficult relationship in which "a partner means no good to the other, but despite that the person still chooses to stay because it is so in love." Husøy added, "it is like when you’re screwed and you just [got to] pray for yourself to make it out in one piece."^[2]

On 6 January 2020, it was announced that the song will be competing in Melodi Grand Prix 2020, Norway's national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2020.^[1] The song was drawn to compete in the third semi-final on 25 January 2020, and later qualified to the final.^[3][4] In the final, the song qualified to the gold final, and subsequently qualified to the gold duel. The song ultimately lost against the song "Attention" by Ulrikke Brandstorp with a margin of 5,678 votes.^[5]
