We spoke to Chanel about her reaction to finding out that she would be representing Italy this year, her competing song “Bla Bla Bla”, and her creativity.

Chanel Dilecta is representing Italy at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2022 with “Bla Bla Bla”. The song was composed by Marco Iardella and was written by Carmine Spera, Fabrizio Palaferri, Angela Senatore. The song is about young people responding to challenges like peace and climate change and that promises must be kept and words have meaning otherwise it is all “bla bla bla”.
