Kati (Katalin) Wolf (or Wolf Kati as her Hungarian friends calls her) will represent Hungary in Düsseldorf with the song What About My Dreams.
The Eurovision version is an bilingual* version (English/Hungarian) of the original Hungarian version Szerelem, Miért Múlsz.
See versions below
The music is written by Viktor Rakonczai and Gergő Rácz. The Hungarian lyrics are by Péter Geszti, the English by Johnny Palmer.
Rakonczai and Rácz were members of V.I.P. who represented Hungary in 1997 with Miért kell, hogy elmenj?. The conductor of the 1997 entry was Péter Wolf, yes, Kati's Papa.
