An instrumental (with a few backing ahahaaah's) was also released. It is different from the karaoke version on the official karaoke album (digital).

In December 2020 Victoria performed a bit of Tears Getting Sober in Bulgarian on TV but she hasn't recorded it.

Vinyl
A Vinyl 12" inch record is made (25 copies only) and just one was given away in a competition / survey.

Victoria plans to return for the next Eurovision Song Contest. Victoria in 2021.

She is currently working on her first album which is expected around Eurovision. Although it might be just an EP.

Victoria is dedicated to her work giving Bulgarian stray cats and dogs a new home, so there's that.
