Bartlett participated in the Outernatia Song Contest 43 in Timmins, Kosma with Boys Like Girls' "Love Drunk", selected using the national final BASIC by the national broadcaster Bartlett Broadcasting Corporation (BarBC). It placed second, matching Bartlett's highest placement that was achieved in OSC 41.
After putting Bartlett Assembly of Songs for International Competitions (BASIC) on hiatus for two editions, BarBC announced that it will use the selection again for OSC 43. A departure from the previous editions, five songs were selected to compete, with the winner selected from votes by international juries using a new point system. After three weeks of voting, a record number of international jury participants selected "Love Drunk" by Boys Like Girls, getting top points from seven out of 12 juries.
