The song now features updated production elements and enhanced vocal arrangements, giving it a fresh, contemporary appeal. Ĺ˝iĹľić expressed excitement about the improvements, aiming to captivate both jury members and Eurovision fans alike in Basel. 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. It is worth it, the full 5 minutes!! Spain’s Song Revamp  Spain isn’t resting after their national final. Melody has unveiled a revamped version of “Esa Diva,” the song with which she won Benidorm Fest.

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
