Cypriot broadcaster, CyBC, decided to go another way this year with their national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest.
Namely, they decided to pick their singer before and then later, to pick a song for the artist. The show used for that was called Performance and a total of nine singers fought for the possibility to represent their country.
In the end it was Christos Milordos to take the trophy with more than 11,000 votes.
Then composers were asked to send in songs for the singer. Several reached the CyBC headquarters and a specially formed jury of seven people choose the entry, and on the 20th January it was announced it would be San Aggelos S’Agapisa composed by Andreas Anastasiou and the lyrics from Michalis Antoniou.
It wasn't until the 28th February that the public finally had the opportunity to hear the song when it was premiered in their main news show. The video for San Aggelos S’Agapisa by Maria Charis and was shot in Nicosia and Protara.
