Background
Prior to the 2007 contest, Spain had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest forty-six times since its first entry in
The Spanish national broadcaster, Televisión Española (TVE), broadcasts the event within Spain and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. TVE confirmed their intentions to participate at the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest on 20 October 2006.[2] In 2006, TVE selected both the artist and song that would compete at the Eurovision Song Contest via an internal selection. For their 2007 entry, the broadcaster announced on 2 November 2007 that it would organise a national final featuring a competition among several artists and songs.[3]
Before Eurovision
Misión Eurovisión 2007
Misión Eurovisión 2007 was the national final organised by TVE that took place at Prado del Rey in Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid, hosted by Paula Vázquez. The national final consisted of six shows which commenced on 9 January 2007 and concluded with a winning song and artist during the final on 24 February 2007. All shows were broadcast on La 1 and TVE Internacional.[4]
Format
Fifty-seven artists competed in Misión Eurovisión 2007 which consisted of six shows: four heats on 9 January 2007, 16 January 2007, 23 January 2007 and 3 February 2007, a semi-final on 10 February 2007, and the final on 24 February 2007.[5] The heats each featured fifteen artists (twelve in the fourth heat), while the semi-final featured the twenty qualifiers from the heats. Each artist performed original songs or cover versions of songs of their choice during the shows and five qualified from each show. The fourth heat featured an additional four acts which were duets consisting of eight of the artists that competed in the first three heats. The winning duet qualified for the semi-final.[6] In the final, each of the remaining five artists performed five candidate Eurovision songs, selected through an Internet round, with the winner being decided upon over two rounds of voting. In the first round, the top five combinations of artist and song qualified for a second round of voting, during which the winning entry was determined.[7]
The results during the heats and the semi-final shows were decided upon through public televoting and an in-studio expert jury. In the heats and the semi-final, the contestants first faced a regional televote where the top three qualified. The jury then selected an additional two artists (one in the fourth heat) from the remaining artists to advance.[8][9] For the duet selection, the results were decided upon through public televoting. In the final, the first round results were decided upon through public televoting, while regional televoting exclusively determined the second round results. For the regional televote, the votes of each of the nineteen autonomous communities of Spain created an overall ranking from which a set of points was distributed. A twentieth set of points was based on the votes submitted via mobile phones. The two members of the in-studio jury that evaluated the contestants during the shows were music advisors of the national final: former Spanish Eurovision contestants Massiel who represented the nation and won the contest in 1968, and Mikel Herzog who represented the nation in 1998. Herzog was also responsible for the arrangements of the five candidate Eurovision songs performed in the final.[10]
Competing entries
Two separate submission periods were open on 14 November 2006 for artists and songwriters to submit their applications and songs. Artists were required to be professional acts, while TVE sought out mid-tempo and uptempo songs with the chorus containing Spanish words universal for any language or imaginary words easy to be remembered as well as part of the lyrics containing words repeated in English.
Shows
Heats
The four heat took place on 9 January, 16 January, 23 January and 3 February 2007. In each heat the fifteen contestants first faced a regional televote where the top three qualified for the semi-final; an additional two qualifiers were selected from the remaining twelve contestants by an in-studio jury. In addition to the performances of the contestants, the fourth heat featured guests performers Dana International who won the Eurovision Song Contest 1998 for Israel, and Eurovision contestant Dmitri Koldun who would represent Belarus in 2007.[15][16]

Preparation
The official video of the song was filmed in March 2007 at the Estudios Buñuel in Madrid.[27] The final version of the song, produced by Mar de Pablos and Carlos Quintero, premiered on 7 March 2007 with the video later released on 9 March 2007 on RTVE's website. The music video served as the official preview video for the Spanish entry.[28][29] On 21 March 2007, it was announced that Nash would perform at the Eurovision Song Contest under the name D'Nash due to issues with registering their initial stage name.[30]

Final
D'Nash took part in technical rehearsals on 7 and 8 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 11 and 12 May. During the running order draw for the semi-final and final on 12 March 2007, Spain was placed to perform in position 2 in the final, following the entry from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Spanish performance featured the members of D'Nash on stage dressed in white outfits and doing a dance routine, joined by two backing vocalists on silver kettle drums. The LED screens displayed a digital mosaic background which transitioned between blue and red colours, with the latter covered by the title of the song "I Love U Mi Vida". During the performance, D'Nash interpreted the song title in sign language in order for people who can't hear to understand the message of their song, as explained by the group members.[33] The performance also featured pyrotechnic effects which included industrial sparks and flaming columns.[34][35] The five backing vocalists that joined D'Nash were Noemí Calumarte and Rebeca Rods.[36] Spain placed twentieth in the final, scoring 43 points.[37]
