Performing during the show in position 20, "Vertigo" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final on 12 May.

Opportunity 2 was the first phase of the national final format developed by PBS to select the Maltese entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007.

The five entries that qualified from the semi-final were performed again and the votes of a jury panel (4/5) and the results of public televoting (1/5) determined the two spots for Malta Song for Europe 2007.

The competition consisted of a semi-final and final held on 1 and 3 February 2007, respectively, at the Malta Fairs & Conventions Centre in Ta' Qali.

Among the selected competing artists was former Maltese Eurovision entrant William Mangion who represented Malta in the 1993 contest.

[13] The jury panel that selected the fourteen semi-finalists consisted of Ramon Galarza (Portugal), Alex Panayi (Greece), Veronica Mortensel (Denmark), Claus Storgaard (Denmark), Nicholas Graham (United Kingdom), Deni Lewis (United Kingdom) and Bruno Berberes (France).

[15] The interval act featured guest performances by 2006 Romanian Eurovision entrant Mihai Trăistariu, the Yada Dance Company and the local band Winter Moods.

[18] The release of the song's new version and official music video was announced on 9 March 2007 during the TVM talk show programme Xarabank.

The music video for the song was filmed earlier in March at several places of Malta, including the St. Paul's Band Club in Rabat and at an old cemetery in Mdina.

[19] Olivia Lewis made several appearances across Europe to specifically promote "Vertigo" as the Maltese Eurovision entry.

On 17 February, Olivia Lewis performed during the sixth show of the Spanish Eurovision national final, Misión Eurovisión 2007.

[23][24] The Eurovision Song Contest 2007 took place at the Hartwall Areena in Helsinki, Finland and consisted of a semi-final on 10 May and the final of 12 May 2007.

According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from the semi-final in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from the semi-final progress to the final.

[29] The backing vocalists that joined Olivia Lewis on stage were Jaana Vähämäki, Johanna Beijbom and Lisette Vega, while the dancers were Jes Sciberras and Joseph Chetcuti.

[30] At the end of the show, Malta was not announced among the top 10 entries in the semi-final and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final.
