"Technicolour" was the Australian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in Rotterdam, performed by Montaigne, who had been chosen to represent the country the previous year before the Contest was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Due to the country's ban on international travel, a special recorded live performance from the country was used. It failed to qualify from the first semi-final, marking the first time ever that the country had failed to progress to the final.

I wanna be close to my mother
I wanna belong to the world
A mirror that shows technicolour
I'd be a magnificent girl
But everything is frustrating
Everything moves along
Faster than I can relate to
But I got power, yeah
Midnight is the hour, yeah
Time to take off your cloaks
Techni-technicolour
Techni-technicolour
If we stand together
We can do whatever
Techni-technicolour
Techni-technicolour
If we care for one another
We can
I wanna know that there's a future
That I can move myself towards
And yet I promise you
Yes all you nasty dudes
I don't need certainty
To get my pot of gold
Everything is frustrating
Everything moves along
Faster than I can relate to
But we got grace, yeah
We got style and lasers, yeah
Time to take off your cloaks
Techni-technicolour
Techni-technicolour
If we stand together
We can do whatever
Techni-technicolour
Techni-technicolour
If we care for one another
We can
Shine
Shine
Shine
Shine
Techni-technicolour
Techni-technicolour
If we stand together
We can do whatever
Techni-technicolour
Techni-technicolour
If we care for one another
We can
Shine
