In 2021, when Senhit released Adrenalina as San Marino's entry for Eurovision 2021, there were comments that it was a bit too similar to Suzi P's song Moves from Melfest 2020, but I don't remember anyone pointing out the similarity to this song.

Yes, it's from 13 years before 2021, and it was 19th of the 20 songs in Moldova's national final that year with only five points, but it's not only the titles that are the same...

They're even in the same key.

That's why San Marino was bottom 5 in the final. I know fans loved it but for the first time viewers it sounded literally like this song here (except for the Polish juries casue they thought it was masterpiece)
