This Time (William Mangion song)


"This Time" was the Maltese entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1993, performed in English by William Mangion.
The song is a dramatic ballad, inspired somewhat by the soul music tradition. Mangion addresses himself to a lover whose infidelity he has recently discovered, telling her that their relationship is over and that "this time I'll be strong, I won't fall in love again".
The song was performed eighth on the night. At the close of voting, it had received 69 points, placing 8th in a field of 25.
A Maltese language version was also recorded, titled "Issa".
It was succeeded as Maltese representative at the 1994 Contest by Chris & Moira with "More Than Love".
