“Wild West” was written just before the Eurovision contest. This song gives a profound reflection on the challenges of the modern world. The song paints today’s reality as a harsh and unpredictable place where one must develop a thick skin and constantly fight for their place. Luna explores the notion that, in this world, it’s not always possible to be fully yourself, openly express emotions and feelings, or trust everyone you encounter.

The titular “Wild West” symbolizes a land of endless possibilities—a place where dreams can be fulfilled, and where one can discover and pursue their true self. However, it is far from being an ideal world, and it is certainly not Eden. The “Wild West” is governed by brutal and often unforgiving rules that may require difficult decisions and sacrifices.

Thus, the song is not only a narrative about ambition and the pursuit of success but also a warning about the dangers that can accompany these pursuits. Luna’s “Wild West” is a musical journey into a world where success and fulfillment are possible, but they demand courage, determination, and an awareness that nothing comes without risk.

Luna is a young vocalist and songwriter. She was the first Polish woman invited to the Spotify Equal campaign. Her image was displayed in New York’s Times Square. In November 2021, she released her first EP „Caught in the Night” and her single „Fade” appeared on 14 international Spotify’s New Music Friday playlists around the world. She was nominated for Bestseller of Empik Award 2021. In April 2022 her first Polish album „Nocne More” was released. Along with appreciation from the audience and the reviewers album gave her wider recognition in her homeland market as an alternative artist. Recently, she released a „Subterranean” single with Miss Monique and Avira. Within 2 months it reached 1 mln streams on Spotify. Currently, she is working on her second album. She feels comfortable on large festival stages (like Open’er or Pol’n’Rock Festival) as well as in smoky clubs.
