Love Is On My Side is an English-language pop song written by Pedro Tatanka and interpreted by the group The Black Mamba. Tatanka had been inspired by an old lady the band had met on a tour in Amsterdam in 2018. Since leaving her home in Eastern Europe, she said, her life had increasingly deteriorated, to the point of drug addiction and street prostitution. Despite all these events, she had nevertheless seen the positive sides of life and had given the band on the way that love had always remained by her side. #love #is #on #my #side #black #mamba #eurovision #song #contest #2021 #esc

The 54th Festival da Canção took place in February and March 2021 and was the Portuguese preliminary for the ESC 2021 in Rotterdam. In conjunction with this, RTP also stated that the Portuguese entry for 2021 would again be determined via the Festival da Canção. The concept of the past two years will be maintained. However, this time there will be 4 more participants in the show than in 2019 and 2020, so there will be 10 participants in each semi-final. Of these, 5 will qualify for the final, where 10 finalists will compete against each other. #esc #portugal #2021 #eurovision #song #contest
