Verona was the Estonian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Kiev performed by Koit Toome & Laura Põldvere.
Both Toome and Põldvere returned to the Eurovision stage after 1998 and 2005 respectively. Sven Lõhmus has also written past Estonian entries, such as Rändajad.
It was performed 17th in the second semifinal following Lithuania and preceding Israel. At the close of voting, it finished in 14th place with 85 points, failing to qualify for the final despite being a fan favorite. A reason for this could be that during the live performance, Laura's microphone failed, rendering the first line inaudible to the audience.

Sleeping all alone
You wake up with a bottle in your hands
No sound of serenade
Cause we both know we lost our game
I was always high on loving you
Before the romance turned to drama
Like Romeo and Juliet once before
We are lost in Verona
Learning through the scars
Will make you stronger time is the proof
I´m not a loner kind
I know I just can't get over you
I was always trying to tell the truth
Before the romance turned to drama
I hoped the best in me was always you
Before we lost our Verona
We are lost
Lost in the crowd of the street
We are lost
Like two sailing boats in the sea
We are lost
Cause sometimes we're building and burning down love
We have lost our Verona
We lost and we found our Verona
We are lost in Verona
Reckless type of love
Reckless type of love
We never said: I´m sorry
We never said: enough
This western type of woman
Western type of man
Disappeared in Verona
We lost and we found our Verona
We are lost in Verona
We are lost
Lost in the crowd of the street
We are lost
Like two sailing boats in the sea
We are lost
Cause sometimes we're building and burning down love
We have lost our Verona
We lost and we found our Verona
We are lost in Verona
