Malta first competed at Eurovision in 1971. There was an extensive absence in the years 1976- 1990. Malta returned in 1991.After 29 attempts to secure a win, this goal is yet to be achieved. The island country has come close, finishing in the Top 3 in 1992, 1998, 2002 and 2005. Chiara performed 2 of those high achieving entries: "Angel" and "The One That I Love". 

Ira Losco, another runner-up (with "7th Wonder"), returned to the Grand Final in Stockholm last year. She finished in 12th position with "Walk On Water".
