in december 2009, the israel broadcasting authority selected skaat to represent israel in the eurovision song contest 2010. the announcement was made at the knesset, israel's legislative body. the selection was preceded by several days of speculation and confusion, and followed by criticism of the israel broadcasting authority and calls for an investigation of the selection process. on 15 march 2010, "milim" ("מילים", "words") written by noam horev and composed by tomer hadadi, was selected uninaminously as the israeli song entry for the eurovision contest when it won the kdam eurovision, the country's pre-eurovision selection competition. the four songs chosen as finalists for the kdam eurovision, including "milim", were recorded in a studio by skaat and released on a special ep entitled "eurovision 2010" at the kdam eurovision, skaat sang "milim" in hebrew with the backing of string instruments, but before the eurovision contest skaat re-recorded it again entirely in hebrew but with an altered vocal arrangement and with a full orchestra accompaniment. because it was known by early march 2010 that the majority of eurovision entries for that year would probably be sung in english (24 of the 39 entries at the eurovision contest sang in english), there was some coverage in the israeli media prior to eurovision as to which language "milim" should be sung—hebrew, english, french, or in some combination of the languages.
