Den Norsken Sangen 01[]
On 13th July 2013, NRK confirmed the Norwegian participation in the fourth edition of the North Vision Song Contest. There were rumours that a national selection would be held for the first time. On 30th July 2013, it was confirmed that the artist who would represent Norway in North Vision Song Contest 4 would be internally selected but a national selection would take place to choose the song that would represent Norway in Sweden. It was the first time that NRK confirmed a project like this and would pay costs for the selection, so the expectations were high. Some hours later, it was announced that Den Norsken Sangen which means The Norwegian Song in English would be the name of the national selection for the chosen artist.
On 31st July 2013, the selected artist was announced. Alexandra Joner, Norwegian singer and dancer with Cuban roots was presented as the fourth artist to represent Norway in the contest. On 1st August, 3 songs fought for the right to represent Norway and "Come Inside Me" was the winner song written by Hitesh Ceon, Kim Ofstad and Yolanda Celini while "Sunrise" featuring Madcon was placed second and "Next To You" third and last.
