Dani was chosen through the national selection competition, Festivali i Këngës, organised by Radio Televizioni Shqiptar (RTSH) in December 2014.[2] Details regarding the 53rd edition of Festivali i Këngës were announced on 12 September 2014, however the Albanian broadcaster formally confirmed their participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 on 1 November 2014.[3][4] The national broadcaster of Albania, Radio Televizioni Shqiptar (RTSH), organised the 53rd edition of Festivali i Këngës with the objective of determining the country's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2015.[17] The jury, consisting of Fatos Baxhaku, Genc Dashi, Agim Doçi, Alida Hisku, Rona Nishliu, Evi Reçi and David Tukiçi, determined Elhaida Dani as the winner of the contest for the song "Diell".[22] Subsequently, on 24 February, it was revealed that Dani would perform "I'm Alive", a song composed at the contest in collaboration with Sokol Marsi and Albanian producers Zzap & Chriss.[33] The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into five different pots based on voting patterns from previous 10 years.Dani delivered the song from the centre of the stage while three female backing vocalists were set to her side, dressed in black outfits.The stage lighting created a dark atmosphere with the background LED screens displaying moving rays and shapes in yellow and cream colours.[41] Immediately after the first semi-final, a winner's press conference convened for the ten countries that qualified, allowing their artists to participate in a draw determining their performance segment in the final.[46] This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on vocal capacity, the stage performance, the song's composition and originality, and the overall impression of the act.
