"Praise be to God that two of my songs with my music team have been given the opportunity to compete in the final. My heart is full and happy but the responsibility is even bigger than the two previous years," she wrote.

"Honestly, I am excited and have started thinking the things I should deliver, the kind of arrangements to be presented, and what kind of clothes should I wear, and so many planning," she added.

Aina will be performing her solo ballad "Sepi" in the competition, as well as her duet with Khai Bahar, "Nafas Cinta".
