Eurovision 2025 already has its first controversy. The European Broadcasting Union (UER) has decided to censor the title of Malta’s song, ‘Kant’, claiming that its pronunciation could lead to A double meaning in English.
Miriana Conte, the Maltese representative, has confirmed the news through a statement on social networks, where she has expressed her disappointment for the organization’s decision. “Although I am surprised and disappointed, I promise you one thing: The show will continue. This diva will not collapse, “said the artist.

The problem lies in the chorus of the songwhere Conte uses the expression “Serving Kant”, a word game with the popular Anglo -Saxon phrase “service cunt” (“serving pussy”), used on the Internet to describe powerful and full of attitude. However, in Maltés, “Kant” means “sing”, so the artist intended to claim her vocal talent with a touch of irony.
Malta’s public television, PBS, has denounced the decision of the UU as an act of censorship against the Maltese language. Keith Chetcuti, executive director of the chain, has announced that they will try to defend the original candidacy. “We feel that this is total discrimination against our language, because It is the only word in Maltés that has been censored“He said.
Now, the PBS works to counterreloj to modify the song before March 10deadline to present the final version.
