San Marino in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021
The Sammarinese broadcaster San Marino RTV (SMRTV) internally selected Senhit as their representative with the song "Adrenalina", featuring uncredited live vocals from Flo Rida.While Flo Rida had provided vocals for the track, his participation in the performance of the song on the Eurovision stage was only confirmed on the day of the second semi-final due to COVID-19-related travel restrictions.To promote the entry, a music video for the song was released and Senhit made appearances on Polish and Albanian television as well as at a Eurovision Party in Spain in the lead up to the contest.[1] The nation's debut entry in the 2008 contest, "Complice" performed by Miodio, failed to qualify for the final and placed last in the semi-final it competed in.The nation's next four entries, "Chain of Lights" performed by Anita Simoncini and Michele Perniola for 2015, "I Didn't Know" by Serhat for 2016, "Spirit of the Night" by Monetta and Jimmie Wilson for 2017 and "Who We Are" by Jessika featuring Jenifer Brening for 2018, did not qualify for the final.[11][12] The song features vocals from American rapper Flo Rida and was written and composed by Thomas Stengaard, Joy Deb, Linnea Deb, Jimmy Thörnfeldt, Kenny Silverdique, Suzi Pancenkov, Malou Linn Eloise Ruotsalainen and Chanel Tukia, along with Senhit and Flo Rida themselves.In mid-April, she appeared alongside Polish Eurovision entrant Rafal on the show Jaka to melodia?, recording performances that would later air in mid-May.The eventual announcement of his inclusion was made upon his arrival in Rotterdam, with Senhit noting that it was difficult to predict what travel restrictions would be in place at the time of the contest.In response, EBU Executive Supervisor Martin Österdahl deemed the jury vote valid for the performance and that the issue had been addressed with the highest priority.[41][42] San Marino's jury consisted of Antonio Cecchetti, Elisa Manzaroli, Fabrizio Raggi, Jimmy JDKA, and Marilia Reffi.
