Who Is Sweden's Eurovision 2025 Act KAJ and What Are the Lyrics to Their Song

The Finnish comedy trio KAJ will represent Sweden with their song "Bara bada bastu" at the Eurovision final on May 17, 2025, in Basel.
KAJ won Melodifestivalen on March 8, becoming the first Finnish group and first Swedish-language act from Sweden since 1998 to enter Eurovision.
The trio, from Vörå, combines comedy and music to celebrate Finnish sauna culture, presenting the song as a playful way to engage stereotypes and sauna tradition.
Aalto University digitized KAJ's touring sauna using 3D laser scanning and drone imaging in Vöyri to preserve Ostrobothnian cultural heritage as part of a larger project.
The group's Eurovision success highlights the Swedish-speaking Finnish minority's culture and is expected to strengthen the Swedish language's position within Finnish society.
