Georgia participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014 which took place on 15 November 2014, in Marsa, Malta. Georgian Public Broadcaster (GPB) was responsible for organising their entry for the contest. Lizi Pop was internally selected to represent Georgia in the contest with the song "Happy Day".
Prior to the 2014 Contest, Georgia had participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest seven times since its debut in 2007. They have never missed an edition of the contest, and have won twice at the 2008, and 2011 contests.
Like Georgia has done most years since their début in the contest, the Georgian broadcaster GPB decided to internally select their 2014 artist after holding an open audition. It was originally announced on 14 August 2014 that Liza Japaridze, Sofi Dashniani, and Dea Dashniani would represent Georgia as a trio, however on 16 August 2014 it was revealed that Japaridze would perform under the stage name Lizi Pop, while the Dashnianis will be backing singers.
Lizi Pop is a Georgian child singer. She represented Georgia in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Marsa, Malta, on 15 November 2014 with the song "Happy Day", placing eleventh out of sixteen entries.
"Happy Day" is a song by Georgian child singer Lizi Pop. It represented Georgia during the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014. It is composed and written by Giorgi Kukhianidze.
At the running order draw which took place on 9 November 2014, Georgia were drawn to perform sixth on 15 November 2014, following Cyprus and preceding Sweden.
Lizi Pop performed with four background dancers in black outfits with white wigs. During the performance, Lizi Pop encouraged the members of the audience to sing along.
