Australia has announced the latest artist set to represent the country for Eurovision 2025 - the world's biggest song competition.
Go-Jo – also known as Marty Zambotto – will represent the country when the iconic singing contest returns in Basel, Switzerland from May 13-17.
Zambotto, who grew up in Manjimup, Western Australia, will perform his song Milkshake Man which was released on Wednesday.
"Ahh it's a dream to be a part of Eurovision 2025 and so proud to be representing AUS!" he wrote under the music video posted by his official Go-Jo Youtube channel.
"The Milkshake Man's purpose is to inspire people to embrace the loudest and proudest version of themselves, and I can't think of a better place to share that message than the Eurovision stage," Zambotto said.
"It's an absolute dream come true to represent such a beautiful and diverse nation, and I've never been more excited to share my art and vision with the incredible Eurovision fans around the world."

Zambotto's mother, who fronted a local rock act, inspired his music career after buying him is first electric guitar when he was a teenager.
He was also a promising Aussie Rules football player, with the Western Australian Football League even bringing him to Perth to develop his talent, but he ended up choosing music, describing it as "the universe flickering its high beams" at him.
Zambotto has more than 1.4 million followers across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram.
He was the ninth-most streamed Australian artist in the world, and has even toured nationally and internationally in Europe, the US and South-East Asia.
His hit single Mrs Hollywood has more than a billion views across all platforms, and more than 60 million digital streams.
