Though Sweden's KAJ did not go home as the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest winner, they are a winner in our book. In classic, Eurovision tongue-in-cheek lyrics and dance beat, KAJ's Axel Åhman, Jakob Norrgård, Kevin Holmström encourage us to "Bara bada bastu." That's Swedish for "just go to the sauna." At Sweet Life Saunas, we couldn't agree more.
Under the silliness is a great beat that will have your foot tapping as you tap into Sweden's longest love:
the sauna.
But what are they singing about?
Lucky for any non-Swedish speakers out there, Eurovision always provides the lyrics:
Just sauna
Oh well…
The clock is ticking, now it's time
All worries will soon be gone
Best remedy for body and soul
Four walls in wooden panels
Oh eh-oh eh-oh
Our wood warms just as well
Oh eh-oh eh-oh
Like tango with Arja Saijonmaa
One two three
Sauna
We're gonna sauna, sauna
Steam it up and let go of all stress today
Sauna brothers, we're the ones who glow
One hundred degrees, oh yes
Just sauna, sauna
Steam it up, till the sweat just sprays
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Sauna, yeah
We're gonna sauna, sauna
Steam it up and let go of all stress today
Sauna brothers, we're the ones who glow
One hundred degrees, oh yes
Just sauna, sauna
Throw it on, till the sweat just sprays
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Sauna, yeah
Sauna
Sauna
Yeah, that's right
Pour some water, let's get more steam
Tick tick tock, how long can you last?
Ninety degrees, we're almost there
Damn it, turn up the heat
Oh eh-oh eh-oh
Sweat is dripping, yeah yeah
Oh eh-oh eh-oh
One two three
Sauna
We're gonna sauna, sauna
Steam it up and let go of all stress today
Sauna brothers, we're the ones who glow
One hundred degrees, oh yes
Just sauna, sauna
Throw it on, till the sweat just sprays
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Sauna, yeah, yeah
Sauna
Just sauna, just sauna
Just sauna, just sauna, just sauna
Just sauna, just sauna
Just sauna, just sauna, just sauna
Just sauna, just sauna
Just sauna, just sauna, just sauna
Just sauna, just sauna
Just sauna, just sauna, just sauna
We're gonna sauna, sauna
Steam it up and let go of all stress today
Sauna brothers, we're the ones who glow
One hundred degrees, oh yes
Just sauna, sauna
Throw it on, till the sweat just sprays
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Sauna, yeah
Sauna
Just sauna, just sauna
Just sauna, just sauna, just sauna
Just sauna, just sauna
Just sauna, just sauna, just ѕauna
Saunа
So go on
Throw some water on the rocks, turn up the volume, and sauna.
Consider it steam-as-a-service. Eurovision says so.
