- This was the first time since 2000 that the Maltese language is used in a Eurovision event since "Desire" by Claudette Pace, the Maltese entry for the 2000 contest.[7]

- All countries were given 12 points at the start of voting. This is so no country gets zero points.
- As a joke, the Executive Supervisor of the contest, Svante Stockselius, was given 12 points before the voting. This probably because he was scheduled to resign at the end of the year.
