"Aina mun pitää" (pronounced [ˈɑinɑ ˈmun ˈpit̪æː]; English: I always have to) is a song by Finnish punk rock band Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät. The song won Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK) 2015 and represented Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015.
On 7 January 2015, it was leaked through Spotify that Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät would compete in Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2015 with the song "Aina mun pitää", along with the seventeen other competing artists. The official music video was presented on 13 January on both the band's Vevo account and UMK's YouTube channel. It was released on iTunes the day after.
"Aina mun pitää" is a song which runs for one minute and twenty-seven seconds. It was written by Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät's band members. The song's lyrics are about having to engage in daily activities such as washing-up. It is the shortest song to be entered in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest, beating the record previously held by the United Kingdom for their 1957 entry in the contest that clocked in at one minute and fifty-two seconds.
In a review by Eurovision blog Wiwibloggs, the song received an overall score of 1/10 based on the reviews of nine jurors and was ranked last among the eighteen UMK 2015 participants. William of Wiwibloggs awarded the song a 2/10 and stated:
"I have a mentally handicapped sibling so am naturally moved by their personal story. We should all applaud their efforts — and their team’s efforts — to fight the invisibility that plagues people with special needs. However, UMK is a song contest and we have to evaluate the song. In their number screams replace any sort of chorus, and shrieks fill the gaps in between. This is not music. It’s noise with a good backstory."
