Malta's Junior Eurovision 2026 representative Beppe Caruana and his songwriting team have revealed how the entry Blue Bird was created. Matt Blxck shared the story in a social-media post discussed by Eurovoix on 15 October, giving fans new details about the ideas behind the host country's song.
What to know
- Beppe's own studio notes inspired Blue Bird and its nature-focused message.
- His mother's whistle features in the recording; another song was written before the team chose Blue Bird.
- The songwriters include Matt Blxck, Matthew James and Muxu.
HOW THE SONG BEGAN — Beppe came to the studio with personal notes and the phrase “The secret is in you”. According to Matt Blxck, the writers built Blue Bird around that starting point, connecting it with themes of mother nature and the value of simple things.
A FAMILY DETAIL IN THE RECORDING — One unusual element is a whistle performed by Beppe's mother. The team also confirmed that Blue Bird was not the first song written for him during the process; after exploring alternatives, they chose this composition for Junior Eurovision.
WHO CREATED BLUE BIRD — The songwriting team includes Matt Blxck, Matthew James and Muxu. Beppe earned the chance to represent Malta after winning The Voice Kids on TVM, where he competed on the team coached by former Junior Eurovision winner Gaia Cauchi.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT — As Malta's representative, Beppe will perform at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest on 24 October 2026 in Ta' Qali. The host country has previously won Junior Eurovision twice, with Gaia Cauchi in 2013 and Destiny Chukunyere in 2015. The new information concerns the song's creation, not a change to the competition line-up.
