"SloMo" is a song by Spanish-Cuban singer Chanel. The song will represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, Italy.

Context

In a press conference, Chanel reported that the song spoke of "empowerment, to feel comfortable with your body, strong, big and stepping well, put on your crown and twerk to the ground. It is impossible not to get up from the chair."

Eurovision Song Contest

Benidorm Fest 2022

"SloMo" competed in Benidorm Fest 2022, a song festival organised by TVE used to select Spain's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. It took place at the Palau Municipal d'Esports l'Illa de Benidorm in Benidorm, Valencian Community. Thirteen artists and songs competed over three shows: two semi-finals on 26 and 27 January 2022 and the final on 29 January 2022. Each semi-final featured six or seven songs and four qualified for the final. The results of each show were determined through a combination of public voting, a demoscopic jury and an expert jury. The fourteen competing acts were announced on 10 December 2021, while the competing songs were premiered on 21 December 2021.

"SloMo" won the first semi-final with 110 points, and subsequently won the final with 96 points. In the semi-final, "SloMo" received the most points from the expert and demoscopic juries, while in the final, "SloMo" received the most points from the expert, and "Terra" by Tanxugueiras won the demoscopic and the televote.

"SloMo" only got 3.97% of the televote, being in third place against "Ay mamá" by Rigoberta Bandini with 18.08% and "Terra" by Tanxugueiras with 70.75%.

Upon winning the competition, the authors were accused of plagiarizing Serbian singer Dara Bubamara's 2017 single "Extravagantno", written by Stefan Đurić and Slobodan Veljković, by Bubamara herself and Đurić.

At Eurovision

The 66th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest will take place in Turin, Italy and will consist of two semi-finals on 10 May and 12 May 2021, and the grand final on 14 May 2022. According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot.
