Trivia

This was the first Eurovision entry from Malta to have Maltese words in it since 1972’s L-Imħabba.

This was the first song by Philip Vella and Gerard James Borg to appear at the Eurovision Song Contest. Their next entry was to be sung by Ira Losco in 2002, which finished at 2nd place in the final round. They also wrote Malta's 2004 entry, On Again...Off Again, sung by Julie & Ludwig.

Claudette’s performance was a vibrant and confident one, demonstrating her outstanding stage presence. In Malta she has hosted daily television shows for many years.
