The song now features updated production elements and enhanced vocal arrangements, giving it a fresh, contemporary appeal.

Italy’s video – a special one We didn’t add Italy’s video to the database, as the song is interrupted several times. It contains a beautiful story, so we still recommend watching it.

Malta’s Eurovision Entry: From ‘Kant’ to ‘Serving’ Malta’s Eurovision 2025 journey experienced a significant twist with Miriana Conte’s entry, originally titled “Kant.” The Maltese word “kant” translates to “singing,” but its pronunciation closely resembles a vulgar English term, leading to potential misunderstandings. This linguistic overlap prompted the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to request changes to the song’s title and lyrics to ensure suitability for the international audience. ​ In response, Conte and her team retitled the song to “Serving,” aligning with the original theme of confidence and self-expression. The revamped version maintains the song’s essence while adhering to the EBU’s guidelines. The updated music video, released on March 14, 2025, showcases Conte’s adaptability and commitment to her artistic vision. ​   Share
