"Lighthouse" is a song by Croatian singer Nina Kraljić released on March 9, 2016. It represented Croatia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016.
On 24 February 2016, the Croatian national broadcaster HRT announced that it had internally selected Nina Kraljić to represent Croatia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2016. "Lighthouse" was presented on 9 March 2016 during a special radio programme broadcast on HR 2 and hosted by Zlatko Turkalj Turki. The guests of the presentation show were Nina Kraljić, the Croatian Eurovision Song Contest Head of Delegation Željko Mesar and Universal Music Croatia marketing manager Nina Meden. Kraljić made several appearances across Europe to specifically promote "Lighthouse" as the Croatian Eurovision entry. At the end of March 2016, Nina Kraljić completed a 48-hour tour of Serbia where she gave several interviews about her Eurovision participation to media outlets from Radio Television of Serbia (RTS), RTV Pink, N1 Studios and MTV Adria; Kraljić also performed "Lighthouse" live for the first time during the RTS morning programme. On 9 April, Kraljić performed during the Eurovision in Concert event which was held at the Melkweg venue in Amsterdam, Netherlands and hosted by Cornald Maas and Hera Björk.
"Lighthouse" debuted at number 18 on the Croatian HR Top 40 singles chart, marking her first entrance on the chart since her lead single "Zaljuljali smo svijet" failed to enter the HR Top 40 chart. On the Croatian airplay chart "Lighthouse" was the third highest debuting single for the week-ending March 17, 2016. By May 2016, it had reached number 4 on the HR Top 40 chart, becoming Kraljić's first Top 5 hit in her career.
On March 9, 2016, the official audio video for the song was released. The preview video was released on March 21, 2016. In the preview video materials from the short film "Hvar - Into the Storm" which were filmed by Mario Romulić and Dražen Stojčić while on a two-year stay on the island of Hvar were used. The video shows mostly thunderstorms, clouds and the island's fauna in slow motion and time lapse techniques. While the filming took exclusively place on the island of Hvar itself, there are also scenes from the mountain of Biokovo and the nearby island Brač.
