Valentina wasn't available this year so for the first time in history the Italy-locked country San Marino organized a complicated national selection titled 1in360.
The final, held in Bratislava, Slovakia! was won by Jessika ft. Jenifer Brening. They performed their song Who We Are in the Lisbon contest. Listen here at 1in360's Youtube.
A first version was available as a video on Eurovision.tv but for the digital release (and Eurovision?) a new version was made.
The digital single was released on March 30, along with a karaoke version.
The original version of Who We Are was presented (live) with Irol as the rapper. He was the only Sammarinese artists in the competition but decided against competing in the final.
Irol's raps were in Italian whereas Jenifer does her thing in English.
#whoweare Run on Lisbon
#whoweare
is a song by Jessika feat. Jenifer Brening that serves both as San Marino's
Eurovision 2018 entry and as the theme song for Jessika's fund-raising drive to
raise awareness for online bullying.
Jessika and
Jenifer will take part in running events across Europe. The runs will culminate
in a “#whoweare Run on Lisbon” on May 5, 2018. Any and all money raised
will be donated to the Diana Award, an anti-bullying charity founded in the
memory of the Princess of Wales.
The run will see them on April 7 in London (Queen Elisabeth Olympic Park) and in Madrid on April 22 (The Weekend- Rock'n'Roll Marathon Series)
