Aitana Ocaña Morales (born 27 June 1999), better known as simply Aitana, is a Spanish singer. She gained national recognition when she took part in series nine of the reality television music competition Operación Triunfo, where she was the runner-up, after Amaia Romero. Aitana also opted to represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 with the songs "Arde", which she performed solo, and "Lo malo", composed by Brisa Fenoy and which she performed in a duet with Ana Guerra; the former song finished in second place and the latter finished third. Nevertheless, "Lo malo" went on to become a number-one hit on the Spanish Singles Chart and received a platinum certification.
