Rock band Intelligent Music Project will represent Bulgaria at the Eurovision Song Contest in the Italian city of Turin in May 2022, it was announced on November 25.
The song that the band will be taking to the contest is Intention, with music and lyrics by Milen Vrabevski.

The line-up of the rest of the band is Stoyan Yankoulov – appearing at Eurovision for the third time – Bisser Ivanov, X-Factor Bulgaria winner Slavin Slavchev, Ivo Stefanov and Dimiter Sirakov.
Next year will be the 14th time that Bulgaria takes part in the Eurovision Song Contest.
