The show to select the entries, called "Back to BASIC", featured 19 of Bartlett's OSC entries where three were eventually selected for the final shortlist by the BarBC delegation, fellow broadcasters, and the public. "Sub apa" by Lidia Buble was eventually selected.
Bartlett was drawn to open the Second Semi-final, preceding the song from Thorway. They qualified for the Final by placing fifth with 78 points, their first qualification since ISC 78.
