The song, C’est la vie, is performed by Claude in French and English. It was scheduled to premiere on Dutch radio on Thursday.
“We have been working on this for months, so of course it is a real shame that it leaked a day before the launch,” a spokesman for AvroTros told various Dutch media.
The formal premiere, including the accompanying video and an interview with Claude, will go ahead on Thursday as planned.
This year, the festival takes place in Basel, and Claude will participate in the first semi-final on May 13. The final will be held on Saturday, May 17.
