Melody burst onto the Spanish music scene in 2001 at the age of 10 with the number 1 hit El baile de gorila, which was a massive hit that summer. She previously attempted to represent Spain at Eurovision in 2009, but came runners-up in that year's national selection to Soraya's La noche es para mi.


Esa diva is written by a Spanish and Swedish songwriting team that includes Thomas G:son and Peter Boström who wrote both of Loreen's winning Eurovision entries Euphoria and Tattoo.


Spain as a member of the Big 5 qualifies directly to the Eurovision Grand Final and will vote in the first semi-final.
