Angy Fernández - Sé quién soy
Angy is ready to make her Benidorm debut with the help of two major Swedish songwriters. Two-time Eurovision winner Thomas G:son joins forces with Dotter-partner and Melfest rising star Dino Medanhodzic for their second collab this NF season

Dellacruz - Beso en la mañana
Dellacruz makes his debut as a soloist on the Benidorm stage. He previously composed Famous' "La Lola". His song is cowritten by Carlos Almazán, who was also behind Meler's "Mejores" from Benidorm 2022

Jorge González - Caliente
Spanish NF veteran Jorge González is back, having previously attempted to win in '09 and '14. His song is cowritten by David Parejo of "Loviu" and "Postureo" fame, as well as Adrián Ghiardo, another "La Lola" writer

Mantra - Me vas a ver
While Mantra is debuting as a band, member Carlos Marco is no stranger to NF's. As part of Auryn he got close to representing Spain in 2011, and he wrote song for both previous Benidorm fests. He is joined by Melfest/DMGP songwriter Fredrik Sonefors

María Peláe - Remitente
Having written two fan favourites from the OT-era ("Arde" and "Nadie se salva"), María is attempting as a performer for her first time on an ESC stage. Her song is cowritten by her "Arde" cowriter, Alba Reig

Marlena - Amor de verano
The succesful songwriter-duo of Joan Valls Paniza and Rubén Pérez is back after their smash hit, Vicco's "Nochentera" last year. That year they also wrote Rakky Riper's "Tracción"

Miss Caffeina - Bla bla bla
Alberto Jiménez make his return to the Eurovision world (almost). He wrote "Señales", which was set to be Agoney's solo song for the OT Eurovision gala in 2018. However, Agoney was knocked out before the show, and the song was thus never performed

Nebulossa - Zorra
Perhaps the most curious connection of this Benidorm Fest, Nebulossa returns to the ESC spotlight after their attempt in Una Voce per San Marino last year. However, from what I can tell, there have been major changes to the lineup, with only María Bas remaining

That's all! From what I can tell, the remaining have no connections in my database. I'll leave you with this plot of all the connection between Spanish NF songs since 2007. Make sure to give me a follow if want to see more deep dives covering the rest of the NF's this season 🕸️📊
