The drama is over: The new version of Malta’s Eurovision song, “Serving,” performed by Miriana Conte, has been released. Miriana Conte was selected to represent Malta in the second semifinal of Eurovision 2025, which will take place on May 15 in Basel, Switzerland.
About a week ago, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) announced that the use of the word “Kant” (meaning “singing” in Maltese) from the song, which also serves as the song’s title, would be prohibited. Despite the Maltese national broadcaster’s efforts to challenge this decision with the EBU, the official release of the song version is now available. Currently, Malta ranks 14th in the betting odds for Eurovision 2025.
Malta announced that Miriana Conte’s song would be titled “Serving.” Initially, it was reported that Malta would comply with the EBU’s request, removing the word “Kant” and replacing it with “Conte” (which is also Miriana Conte’s surname). According to reports from Malta, the title and parts of the song where “Kant” was sung would be changed to “Conte” without altering the song’s structure. However, the official release now presents a different result.

Malta in Eurovision 2025
“Serving” 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 14th on the betting odds ahead of Eurovision 2025.
