Ira Losco (Malta): 'Walk On Water'

Written by: L.Desmond, T.Larsson, T.Lundgren, M.Pettersson-Hammar & I.Losco

Ira Losco won the 2016 Maltese national selection and earned the right to represent the island nation at this year's Eurovision Song Contest. Since then she helped choose ‘Walk on Water’ as the song she’ll perform in Stockholm.

Walk on Water has amazing energy. It's very different to the song I came second with in 2002
Ira Losco

Ira is one of the biggest names in Maltese music, with a chart-topping career spanning over 15 years. She's performed alongside Katie Melua, Maroon 5, Akon, Enrique Iglesias and Ronan Keating, even opening concerts for Sir Elton John.

She also came within 12 points of winning the Eurovision Song Contest in Tallinn in 2002 and will be hoping to finally lift the trophy on her return 14 years later.

Ahh
Ahh

I’ve been fading into grey
Trying to be someone
Trying to please someone

I’ve been painting bitter blue
Always hitting walls
Always trying to break the fall

I'm not perfect
But I'm A-OK
Chasing off the clouds
I lock the blues away
I lock the pain away

I can't get enough of your love
I can't get you out of my heart
I can't get enough of your love
'Cause I-I-I-I

Feel like I can walk on water
On water, On water
And now I'm gonna walk on water
On water, On water
Feels like I can walk on water

I've been trying hard to hear
what my heart wants to say
Letting it lead the way

I'm not perfect
But I’m A-OK
Chasing off the clouds
I lock the blues away
I lock the pain away

I can't get enough of your love
I can't get you out of my heart
I can't get enough of your love
'Cause I-I-I-I

Feel like I can walk on water
On water, On water
And now I'm gonna walk on

Ooh ooh ooh
All I wanna do is
Ooh ooh ooh
Keep walking on water
Ooh ooh ooh
All I wanna do is
Walk on water

Ooh
