Gordienko and Todiraș performing at the Eurovision Song Contest

"Loca" by Arsenium (Arsenie Todiraș) and Natalia Gordienko was the official entry for Moldova at the Eurovision Song Contest 2006. The song was performed in English and contained parts in Spanish (basically the title, the rhyming words and several full verses). Due to Moldova's good placing in the 2005 contest, the song was pre-qualified for the final, where it was performed second, following Switzerland's six4one with "If We All Give A Little" and preceding Israel's Eddie Butler singing "Together We Are One".

The song is a hip-hop inspired number, with both singers declaring their love for each other and their request to "give me, give me your boca [Spanish for 'mouth']".

The performance on the night featured Gordienko initially wearing a tight top and a short skirt. Mid-way through the song, she went behind a screen and removed the skirt to reveal hotpants. Later, the top was also removed to reveal a bikini top. A final costume change saw her emerge at the end of the song wearing a dress.

"Loca" was successful in Romania after the contest, reaching number four on the Romanian Top 100 in August 2006. While on the chart, the song was credited to "Arsenium and Connect-R featuring Natalia"; however, the EBU lists "Loca" as credited to "Arsenium and Natalia Gordienko".[1][2]

It was succeeded as Moldovan representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 by Natalia Barbu with "Fight".
