Trivia

Miriam Christine is of Brazilian origin, adopted by a Gozitan family. She was still a teenager when she represented Malta at the Eurovision.

Paul Abela has composed three of Malta's entries to the Eurovision Song Contest: 1991, 1996 and 2001. He arranged the 1992 entry, which was written by his wife Georgina.

Alfred C. Sant has written the lyrics for two of Malta's Eurovision entries: 1995 and 1996. Although this was his first collaboration with Paul Abela to appear at the Eurovision Song Contest, they have written numerous popular Maltese songs together.

Both Eurovision songs written by Alfred C. Sant ended in 10th place.
