Malta: Emma Muscat will sing “I Am What I Am” at the stage of Eurovision 2022

Emma Muscat’s agent has affirmed that the young singer will finally represent Malta with the song “I am what I am” at the stage of Eurovision this year, 2022 in Turin.

Initially, Emma was supposed to represent Malta with the song “Out of sight” and that was the song who helped her win in the Malta Eurovision Song Contest (MESC) national final. However, Emma chose a different song for Turin’s big night confirming that ‘I am what I am” as her Eurovision 2022 entry. 

The song has been penned and composed by Emma herself together with Julie Aagaard, Stine Kinck and Dino Medanhodzic who is additionally behind the song’s production.

Emma will be taking the stage in Turin on May 12, 2022 in the first half of the 2nd semi-final.
