"Fallen Angel" is a song by Norwegian singer Tix. It represented Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in Rotterdam and progressed to the grand final.[1] The song is an English translation of the song "Ut av mørket" ("Out of the dark"), which he performed on the first semi-final of Melodi Grand Prix 2021, and was released on 15 January 2021.[2] The song peaked at number 2 on the VG-lista chart. On 20 February 2021, Tix performed the song under the English title "Fallen Angel" and won the final of Melodi Grand Prix 2021. "Fallen Angel" was released the same day.[3]

Background[]

The song is about struggling with depression, that is made even worse by being rejected by a girl who Tix had feelings for. Tix compares depression to "fighting with demons inside a hole in my heart" in the song.[citation needed]
