Broadcaster PBC will eventually make sure the winner of the Maltese national selection travels to the 2017 Junior Eurovision Song Contest with the right song.
Last year's Junior Eurovision Song Contest took place in Malta, whereas this year's edition will take place in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi.
