"Hollow" is a song by Latvian singer-songwriter Dons. Self-described as a song that speaks about how one's inner insecurities can hold someone down, the song was written by Artūrs Šingirejs, Kate Northrop, and Liam Geddes. The song was released on 2 January 2024 by Universal. It is set to represent Latvia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, which will be held in Malmö, Sweden.

Background and composition

"Hollow" was written and composed by Artūrs Šingirejs, Kate Northrop, and Liam Geddes.[1] In interviews with Wiwibloggs' William Lee Adams, Šingirejs says that the song explores how one's "insecurities can hold us hostage", with others trying to dictate on how a person should live. Šingirejs compares the culmination of pressures as "a big ball of weight" on someone, with the only situation on removing said weight is finding hope.[2]

The song was released on 2 January 2024, with the song being speculated to enter Supernova 2024, the Latvian national final for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.[3] The song was officially announced as an entrant seven days later.[4]
