Co-written by Aidan himself, the song is a reflection of his personal journey, capturing the essence of his growth as an artist and a person. The song’s powerful message resonates with many, making it a strong contender at the international competition.

You can listen to “Before the Laughter” on Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube. It’s already topping local charts and gaining international traction, a testament to Aidan’s potential to make Malta proud on the global stage.
