For the past eight years, Australia has been welcomed into the glitter-laced arms of Eurovision as an honorary European.
Right now, our 2023 entrant Voyager is gearing up to compete in the grand final this Sunday in Liverpool, UK.
However, this cross-continental arrangement could evaporate very soon as broadcaster SBS's agreement with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) ends in 2023.
Here's what you need to know.
Why is Australia in Eurovision?
Throughout its 67-year history, Eurovision has almost entirely involved countries from the European union.
However, Aussies have always been huge Eurovision fans, with local multi-cultural broadcaster SBS covering the event every year since 1983.
In 2014, Darwin-born singer Jessica Mauboy was invited to be a guest performer during the show's interval in Copenhagen, Denmark.
The next year, Australia was invited by the EBU to take its place as a wildcard entry in that year's competition, which meant we were sent straight to the grand final.
Originally, Australia's inclusion as a competitor in the 2015 edition of Eurovision was all about "building bridges" and celebrating the contest's 60th birthday.
However, after its success, a deal was struck between SBS and the EBU for Australia to stay on the bill until 2023, but we still had to battle it out in the semis.
So, does that mean this is Australia's last year in Eurovision?
It might be.
SBS's agreement with the EBU only extends to 2023, meaning our involvement in the competition beyond this year is still up in the air.
There's been no official comment from SBS nor from the EBU yet, but conversations are happening, according to Australia's Eurovision creative director Paul Clarke.
"At this stage, our future in the song contest is a live discussion, but it's no secret we love being part of Eurovision," Mr Clarke told ABC News.
"Right now, we're focused on giving the best performance we can with our very first band entry."
Mr Clarke says that Aussies are keen to stay in the game.
"Of course we want to go on! Who wouldn't want to be part of the biggest music party on the planet?" he said.
"It's impossible to walk away from. It touches your heart in a way that is totally surprising but extraordinary."
Who is representing Australia in Eurovision 2023?
That would be Perth prog-metal band Voyager.
They've been together for almost 25 years and have seven studio albums under their collective belts.
Their participation in the contest marks the first time that Australia has been represented by a band as opposed to a solo singer.
The band's winning song, Promise, is heavy on the 80's style synths and bombastic lyrics, but deviates about mid-way when you hit the screamo interlude.
Can Australia vote in Eurovision?
Yes.
However, we can't vote for our own team — no judge or member of the public can vote for their own country.
While the rest of Europe can vote via text and call, Australians can only vote online via Eurovision's official voting partner, Digame.
Members of the public are allowed 20 votes each but, fair warning, it will cost you 65c per vote.

Nope, but we've come close.
Dami Im has achieved the most Eurovision success of any Aussie, with her tune Sound of Silence coming in second in 2016 behind Ukraine.
Guy Sebastian, the first Australian Eurovision entry, came fifth in 2015 and both Isaiah Firebrace and Kate Miller-Heidke came in ninth, in 2017 and 2019 respectively.
What happens if Australia wins Eurovision?
Australia is in with a chance to take out the Eurovision crown this year after succeeding in the second semi-final.
However, even if we did win, the glitz and glamour wouldn't come down under.
Eurovision officials have said that, in the case of an Australian win, we would have to nominate a European country that would physically host on our behalf.
This is due to the time difference and cost of transporting everything and everyone to Australia.
