Before the movie’s Netflix debut on June 26, 2020, only one song named Volcano Man in the actor's voice was released. The music video of Volcano Man stars Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams, in their characters, as Lars Erickssong and Sigrit Ericksdottir, who are collectively known as the music group Fire Saga. Hence, giving the film its full name Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga.
While Ferrell is singing many songs in the film, Rachel McAdams has lent her voice to some songs as well. However, Rachel McAdams' singing voice has been combined with Swedish singer Molly Sandén’s vocals. This isn't too surprising, as Lars in Eurovision on Netflix sounds like Will Ferrell singing.
