"Say Yay!" is a song performed by Spanish singer Barei and written by herself, Rubén Villanueva and Víctor Púa Vivó. The song will represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016.[1] It is the first ever Spanish Eurovision entry that features no Spanish lyrics. The song was released as a digital download on 25 January 2016 through Gran Sol, reaching number-one on Spanish iTunes.[2]
Eurovision Song Contest
In December 2015, Barei was announced as one of the six participants of Objetivo Eurovisión.[3] The show was held on 1 February 2016, where Barei went on to receive top scores from Spanish televoters and the in-studio jury, winning the competition. She will now represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016, in Stockholm, Sweden.[1]
Live performances
Barei performed the song live from the first time on Objetivo Eurovisión on 1 February, where she won the competition.[1][4] After winning the show, she also performed the song on the morning show La mañana on La 1 on 3 February.[5] Barei performed the song at the Ukrainian national final for the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 as a special guest during the second semi-final on 13 February.[6] She will perform the song live during the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 in Stockholm, Sweden on 14 May 2016.
Music video
The official video of the song, directed by Gus Carballo, was filmed in February 2016 in different locations in Madrid, mainly in a tunnel at Las Tablas neighbourhood, as well as in Barcelona, Berlin, Havana, London, Miami and Stockholm. The video premiered on 10 March 2016 on RTVE's website.[7][8]
Controversies
Spanish seat at the Royal Academy of Spanish Language, José María Merino, said that it was "unpresentable, senseless and stupid" for Spain to present a song at Eurovision without any Spanish lyrics.[9]
