Que me quiten lo bailao

"Que me quiten lo bailao" (Spanish pronunciation: [ke me ˈkiten lo βajˈlao], literally "Let them take away from me what I've danced", a colloquialism that means "They can't take the fun I've had away from me") is a song recorded by Spanish singer Lucía Pérez, written by Rafael Artesero.

Artero had already penned "La mirada interior" and "Sense tu", songs that represented Andorra in Eurovision in the 2005 and 2006 contests respectively, as well as several entries for different Spanish national finals.

Artero initially submitted the song in English, but RTVE asked him to translate it into Spanish, which he did under the title "Que me quiten lo bailao".

Lucía reached the final and was assigned "Que me quiten lo bailao", "Abrázame", and "C'est la vie!

"Que me quiten lo bailao" won the competition, with 68% of the total votes by the audience, so it became the Spanish entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2011.

Lucía Pérez performed "Que me quiten lo bailao" twenty-second on the night, following Iceland's "Coming Home" by Sjonni's Friends and preceding Ukraine's "Angel" by Mika Newton.
