Both Slimane and this song are great choices - can't think of any other "first declared" entry in recent years that's matched this!

stealing the list from reddit:
2014 - Ukraine | Mariya Yaremchuk - Tick-Tock - Dec 21st, 2013
2015 - North Macedonia | Daniel Kajmakoski - Autumn Leaves* - Nov 12th, 2014
2016 - Albania | Eneda Tarifa - Fairytale* - Dec 27th, 2015
2017 - Albania | Lindita - World* - Dec 23rd, 2016
2018 - Albania | Eugent Bushpepa - Mall - Dec 23rd, 2017
2019 - Albania | Jonda Maliqi - Ktheju tokės - Dec 22nd, 2018
2020 - Albania | Arilena Ara - Fall From the Sky* - Dec 22nd, 2019
2021 - Albania | Anxhela Peristeri - Karma - Dec 23rd, 2020
2022 - Bulgaria | Intelligent Music Project - Intention - Dec 5th, 2021
2023 - Ukraine | TVORCHI - Heart of Steel - Dec 17th, 2022
2024 - France | Slimane - Mon amour - Nov 8th, 2023

obviously mostly Albania but that streak isn't representative of their usual quality, only 'Mall' is an essential. I do remember 'Autumn Leaves' being revealed abnormally early now I think about it (but it's not an entry that sticks in the mind that much otherwise) but getting a November entry is a really really rare event. We haven't even got the official participation list yet!

this is a very very good French ballad, surprised they've revealed it this early but good to get the season properly started.

It's a great heartfelt ballad but it takes a while to get going. A good 7/10 for me

Definitely prefer the original. Still one of my faves (from the ones I've given multiple listens to)

I'd be surprised if this doesn't do very well with the juries, it just feels like a song that the juries will lap up.
