Adelén participated in the Norwegian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Malmö with the Spanish-influenced song "Bombo", and came in second place.[1][2]

"Bombo" went straight to number 2 on the Norwegian iTunes chart after her performance.[3] It also appeared in VG-lista, the official Norwegian Singles Chart.
