Chanel Benidorm Fest

“SloMo” is Chanel’s entry for Benidorm Fest. The song is a Latin influenced club banger with a message of empowerment and self-confidence. Life is a dance floor and you can be the star.

Chanel knows her powers well and sings that she is always ready “to break hips, break hearts” and she knows that her “boom boom” can get him going “zoom zoom” for her “yummy.” Don’t believe her? Then watch her move and “take a video – watch it slo mo, mo, mo…”

Benidorm Fest: Chanel “SloMo”

Chanel is a multifaceted artist, bringing her magic to acting, dancing and singing. She has journeyed all across Spain doing musicals, performing in front of packed houses and transmitting her energy directly to onlookers, sometimes just metres away. With her song “SloMo”, which translates well across borders, she seeks to inspire and energise people on Benidorm’s dancefloor, but also those beyond Spain  

This is a pop-dance track with an urban and Latin essence. The song was composed by Leroy Sánchez (ESC 2021 songwriter for Spain), Keith Harris, Ibere Fortes, Maggie Szabos and Arjen Thonen.

“SloMo” lyrics – Chanel (Spain Eurovision 2022)

Let’s go

Llegó la mami
La reina, la dura, una Bugatti
El mundo está loco con este party
Si tengo un problema, no es monetary
Yo vuelvo loquito’ a todos los daddies
Yo siempre primera, nunca secondary
Apenas hago doom, doom
Con mi boom, boom
Y le tengo dando zoom, zoom
For my yummy

Y no se confundan

Yo siempre ‘toy ready
Pa’ romper cadera’, romper corazones
Solo existe una
No hay imitaciones (Na, na)
Y si aún no me creen, pues me toca mostrárselo

Let’s go

Here’s the mami
The queen, the tough one, a Bugatti
Everyone’s crazy about this party
If I have a problem, it’s not monetary
I make all the daddies go crazy
I’m always first, never secondary
As soon as I make doom, doom
With my boom, boom
And I got him making zoom, zoom
For my yummy

And don’t be confused
Ladies and gentlemen
I’m always ready
To break hips, break hearts
There’s only one
There are no imitations (Na, na)
And if you don’t believe me, I’ll have to show you

Take a video
Watch it slo mo, mo, mo, mo, mo
Booty hypnotic
Make you want more, more, morе, more, more
I’m going to take it to the floor, lo, lo, lo, lo(Yeah)
If you wish, you could do this dembow (Do this dembow)
Drives you loco (Yeah)
Take a video, watch it slo mo

You like everything I have
I sweeten your face in mango juice
You explode when I turn it on
Until the end, I won’t stop
Take a sip of my cola-la
A little bit savage na-na-na
Make it go like pa-pa-pa-pa
Like pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

And don’t be confused (Don’t be confused)
Ladies and gentlemen
I’m always ready (I’m always ready)
To break hips, break hearts
There’s only one (There’s only one)
There are no imitations (Na, na, na)
And if you don’t believe me, I’ll have to prove it (Listen)

Take a video
Watch it slo mo, mo, mo, mo, mo
Booty hypnotic

Being on ESC forums and not liking this song is an adventure… Even without understanding the Spanish parts of the lyrics I knew it was trashy and sexist, this just confirms it. And this has to be the most repetitive lyrics this year, “mo mo mo, lo lo lo, mo mo mo” ?

“she is always ready “to break hips, break hearts” and she knows that her “boom boom” can get him going “zoom zoom” for her “yummy.” ” is self empowerment???? On what planet??

excuse me but the public vote went elsewhere also I would like to ask Leroy Sanchez if he’s become a sugar daddy?? Female empowerment discos making daddies crazy oh I don’t need the money. Chanel is a good performer very well known at the musicals. She deserved better she’s more to offer than these sexist catch phrases I’m tired about.

lol ok wiwi i love you but you need to stop interpreting pop songs as if they talk about poetry and self-loving advice. It is cringy!

SloMo is a catchy, modern track with stupid lyrics. Take it as it is honeeey!! I don’t care about the lyrics but the truth is that they are trashy and sexist. I love the beat though and Chanel is selling it so well! No one is paying attention to the lyrics.

Agree with you 99%, only because I do pay attention to lyrics and that (and the sexist way she moves) makes it horrible to me.

Rooting that much for a particular act in a NF is not fair and is bad journalism. Wiwibloggs, you should know better. Besides, I thought you guys had evolved in your tastes… apparently not… same old Power-diva admiration… I’m disappointed in you guys

If she wins, the delegation has to hire a really good staging director. Someone like SJB who excels in matching the choreography with the lighting and camera cuts. The current choreography is great, but with the uninteresting staging and somewhat random camera cuts, it falls a bit flat.

SJB is past her peak, she’s recycling ideas and destroying entries. She had her moment and elevated a lot of ESC songs (yes Fuego) but she’s not bringing something new to the table now.

Chanel has a great team behind her that did miracles on that small stage of Benidorm. Imagine what they can do in Turin with so many options to use.

That’s the result Rigoberta will get. 100% sure. It’s not bad for Spain’s standards but they can do so much better with Chanel.

It”s kinda rude that Spain starts to come for Cyprus’ gig by offering a Latin-infused banger.

Actually the origin if Latin music is Latin America. For the record, because so many people seems to forget: Spain id not located in Latin America.

Off topic but guys have you listened the North macedonian songs? I think North Macedonia has something with Superman, what a bop, what a guilty pleasure, what a hot guy, the lyrics are not the best but it could bring such a party in Turin. I feel their others songs are fillers, you have for example the Chris Isaak from North Macedonia too, he seems good but I’m not convinced by his song. The others songs are not bad at all but Superman stands out so much.

It’s horrible but I love every second of it. Not a song to win or anything but it’d make a “top weirdest Eurovision songs” list, we haven’t had much of that recently

Oh. I didn’t know Leroy Sanchez wrote the song. I am surprised tbh, because Chanel song doesn’t reflect his style. The song has a conventional sound, heard in other similar tracks. But I would like to see Leroy one day in Eurovision.
