"Alibi" is a pop / dance song released in 2013 by the Swedish singer of Persian origin Eddie Razaz. He had been a contestant in Swedish Idol 2009 finishing sixth and eventually forming the duo REbound! with fellow Idol contestant Rabih Jaber. After breaking-up, Razaz had decided to go on with a solo career.
Razaz took part in Melodifestivalen 2013 on 16 February 2013, in a bid to represent Sweden in Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Malmö, Sweden. The song co-written by Thomas G:son and Peter Boström and performed by Razaz in the third semi-final leg of the competition failed to move forward to the finals.
Chart performance
Despite the song not qualifying to the national finals of Melodifestivalen, it proved very popular with the Swedish public and the song charted in the Sverigetopplistan official Swedish Singles Chart at the end of the competition in March 2013. It is Razaz' first charting single after break-up of REbound!
