Ira Losco’s Eurovision entry Walk on Water is to be released internationally by Warner Music Sweden, organisers PBS said.

The song will be released on iTunes, Spotify, and other digital sources today week.

The song was officially submitted to the European Broadcast Union before last weekend’s deadline.

Warner Music Sweden are no strangers to the Eurovision Song Contest, having been the record label for both Loreen and Mans when they won the competition in 2012 and 2015 respectively. Walk on Water will be the only song taking part in this year’s contest that is being released by Warner Sweden.

“Ira is an exceptional singer, and we think this is a very strong song not only for Eurovision but also for commercial release. We look forward to working with her over the next months, and of course to her visiting Stockholm for Eurovision itself,” said Robert Skowronski, A&R and Product Manager at Warner Music Sweden.

PBS CEO Anton Attard added “Ira is one of Malta’s best-known artists, and to have a major label like Warner Sweden on board for our entry opens a lot of doors for us internationally as we prepare for Eurovision. For them to choose our song as their only act in the competition is something we’re very proud of.”

Losco's Chameleon had won the Malta Eurovision, but it was controversially changed following a change in Eurovision rules.
