"Jako" (Armenian: Ժակո, pronounced [ʒɑˈkɔ] ) is a song by French-Armenian world music duo Ladaniva. The song was originally released on 29 September 2023 on the duo's debut self-titled album as a track, and was written by Audrey Leclercq, Jaklin Baghdasaryan, and Louis Thomas. It represented Armenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, where it placed in 8th at the grand final with 183 points.

Background and composition

"Jako" was written by the duo together with Audrey Leclercq, and produced by Jasper Maekelberg [nl].[1] The title of the song was inspired by band member Jaklin Baghdasaryan's nickname.[2] The song was described as an account of Baghdasaryan's childhood and the subsequent feeling of society forcing her to conform relating to clothing and her behavior. She both criticizes and challenges it, stating that she instead wants people to find their "real, wild, unapologetic selves".[3]

Music video and promotion

Along with the duo's official confirmation of their Eurovision song, an accompanying music video directed by Arthur Manukyan was released on the same day.[4][5] According to ESC United, the video was a tribute to Armenian filmmaker Sergei Parajanov, with outfits for the duo being designed by Mary Stepanyan and Astghik Samvelyan.[6] To further promote the song, they announced their intents to participate in Pre-Party ES on 30 March 2024, a Eurovision pre-party.[7]

Critical reception

In a Wiwibloggs review containing several reviews from several critics, the song was rated 6.27 out of 10 points,[8] earning 25th out of the 37 songs competing in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 on the site's annual ranking.[9] Another review conducted by ESC Bubble that contained reviews from a combination of readers and juries rated the song fourth out of the 16 songs "Jako" was competing against in its the Eurovision semi-final.[10] Jon O'Brien, a writer for Vulture, ranked the song 13th overall, stating that the song was a "vibrant mix of traditional folk and national pop".[11] ESC Beat's Doron Lahav ranked it 34th overall, stating that while he "appreciate[d] the authenticity of the song", he found the "structure quite messy".[12] Scotsman writer Erin Adam rated the song five out of 10 points, stating that it "may prove too generic to be truly memorable"; however, they also admitted that they found the song to be "colourful, full of character and what Eurovision is all about".[13]
