The singer returned to the studio soon after winning the national selection EMA, and recorded this years' winning song anew. "No drastic changes will be made, just some changes in production," ManuElla had promised at that time. The new version opens with the refrain: "Allay!"

The music for the song was written by the singer in cooperation with Marjan Hvala, with Leon Oblak contributing the lyrics (he is also the author of another Slovenian Eurovision song, i.e. Narodnozabavni rock – Folkpop Rock). ManuElla will introduce the song this weekend in Amsterdam.

She will perform at the special event Eurovision in Concert in the capital of the Netherlands, with the participation of the record number of this year's contestants, namely 27. Already next week she will perform at the special Eurovision event Israel Calling in Tel Aviv, responding to the invitation by the organizers (and on their expense).

In between the performances she will be busy with preparation for scene performance under the vigilant eye of choreographer Anže Škube."The focus is on me. We need to explode on the stage, take advantage of the positive energy the song itself possesses," ManuElla revealed.

The singer in her chat on Radio Slovenija, at the occasion of her appearance in the Nočni obisk (NIght visit) show also revealed that she will wear a white dress onstage. "The colours won't change, and there'll be no stripping," she added for MMC.
