Urban Trad participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2003, where they ended second with the song "Sanomi", a modern folk[clarification needed] song with vocals in an imaginary language. A few months before the contest, it was decided[who?] that singer Soetkin Collier could not participate, apparently because she had extreme right sympathies in the past.
As a result of this, two versions of the song exist on record. One was the standard album version (4:08) and another version was released on single and on the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 collaboration album. Often known as the Eurovision edit, it cut down to 3:01 and it had Soetkin Collier's vocals removed.
Later that year, after an investigation, it was concluded that these accusations by the national security, were exaggerated and based on outdated information.
