The local broadcaster YLE will use the UMK (Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu) selection to select three song for her to sing. The public and expert juries will decide what song eventually will be selected.
Saara has twice participated in the Finland national selection and she was a very popular contest reaching the final of the UK X Factor in 2016.
