Europapa was written and performed by Dutch artist Joost Klein as the Netherlands entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö. Built as a tribute to his late father and to 1990s hardcore and gabber culture, the track became a viral favourite despite the Netherlands being disqualified before the final. Slowed edits spread quickly on TikTok and YouTube, where fans re pitched the chorus to highlight its nostalgic melody. The slowed version keeps circulating for edits that lean into that mix of euphoria and loss.
