Miriana Conte, Malta’s representative for Eurovision 2025, revealed in an interview that her song “Kant” will undergo changes before the competition. The song’s name will remain unchanged, following approval from the European Broadcasting Union.

Miriana Conte, chosen to represent Malta at Eurovision 2025 in Basel, Switzerland, has disclosed in a recent interview that her Eurovision song “Kant” (meaning “Singing” in Maltese) will be refreshed before the competition. The singer also revealed that the European Broadcasting Union has approved the song’s title and the use of the word “Kant,” which sounds similar to a profanity in English. The original title will be accompanied by a translation to clarify its meaning.

The singer addressed the issue of the song’s title in light of reactions, particularly from the United Kingdom, an English-speaking country, and the potential problems with broadcasting a song that sounds like a profanity in their language. Miriana had little to say on this matter except to acknowledge the issue, but noted that the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has approved the song as is, so there won’t be a problem at Eurovision itself. She also mentioned that there will be changes to the choreography and some of the lyrics before the competition, but the song will largely remain the same.

Post-Selection Health Scare

Shortly after the national final, the singer was hospitalized in a local hospital due to an anxiety attack following a car accident in Żebbuġ, central Malta. According to local media reports, the accident occurred at 10:30 AM local time when a vehicle driven by a 40-year-old man collided with Conte’s car. Following the incident, the Minister for National Heritage, the Arts and Local Government, Owen Bonnici, posted on Facebook stating that he had called to check on the singer’s condition and found her in good spirits despite the circumstances. The Minister congratulated the singer and expressed confidence that she would continue from where she left off with even greater energy, following her impressive success in the national Eurovision selection.

 

Malta in Eurovision 2025

“Kant” (Singing) is the title of the song to be performed by Miriana Conte, who will represent Malta in the second semi-final of Eurovision 2025 on May 15 in Basel, Switzerland. The song was co-written by the singer alongside Benjamin Schmid, Matthew Mercieca, and Sarah Evelyn Fullerton. Schmid has previously written numerous entries for Malta’s national Eurovision selections and co-authored the winning song of Junior Eurovision 2015, “Not My Soul.” Mercieca contributed to Malta’s Eurovision entries in 2015 and 2018. This marks Schmid and Fullerton’s first Eurovision entry and Mercieca’s third. The song is performed in English.

The song advocates for freedom of expression and breaking societal constraints, emphasizing independence and female empowerment. It begins with an invitation to reveal an intimate, perhaps provocative, secret and transitions into describing a stifling environment that suppresses individuality. The chorus serves as a call to action and presence, expressing the protagonist’s ability to influence reality and encouraging others to shed inhibitions and follow her rhythm. The song concludes with a reinforcement of its message to live and express oneself freely.

Currently, Malta is ranked 11th on the betting odds ahead of Eurovision 2025.
