On 14 March 2012, San Marino RTV announced that Monetta would represent San Marino in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012, held in Baku, Azerbaijan. [10] Her entry, "Facebook, Uh, Oh, Oh (A Satirical Song)", was released two days later. [11] On 18 March, the European Broadcasting Union deemed the song ineligible to compete, concluding that the song, which heavily featured the Facebook trademark, contained a commercial message that breaches contest rules. The broadcaster was given until 23 March at 12:00 CET to revise the song to remove the incriminating material, or to deliver a new song. [12] On 22 March, the broadcaster presented a revised version of the song, titled "The Social Network Song (OH OH – Uh - OH OH)".

[18] [19] After the contest, she released her debut studio album, La storia di Valentina Monetta. [9]
