Europapa was released in February 2024 as the Netherlands entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, performed by Joost Klein. Co-written as a tribute to his late parents and to growing up in Europe, the track mixes 90s Eurodance and happy hardcore and quickly became a streaming hit across Europe. After Klein's disqualification before the final, fan support surged online, and short edits of the hook spread on TikTok and soundboards as ringtones and meme alerts.
