6Senhit is best known for her involvement in the Series/EurovisionSongContest, specifically representing UsefulNotes/SanMarino rather than her native Italy. She first participated in 2011 with the song "Stand By", but failed to qualify for the final.

8She would have participated a second time in 2020 with "Freaky!", but the contest was cancelled due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic. She was ultimately confirmed to be returning for the following year in 2021 with "Adrenalina", which (unexpectedly) featured American rapper Music/FloRida.

18* AWildRapperAppears: "Adrenalina" features Music/FloRida, who, despite months of uncertainty, managed to join Senhit on stage in Rotterdam.
19* FakeNationality: She has been chosen to represent San Marino at Eurovision thrice, but is of Italian nationality.
20* MyGreatestSecondChance: Her 2020 bid at Eurovision was intended to be this pre-cancellation, as she failed to qualify for San Marino in 2011. She would eventually get her second chance in 2021.
21* RegionalRiff: "Adrenalina" incorporates the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krar krar]] and the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kebero kebero]], which are traditional instruments from UsefulNotes/{{Eritrea}}, where her parents immigrated to Italy from.
22* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Until 2014 she was credited as "Senit", without the "h" (though the pronunciation in her native Italian doesn't change, as the "h" is silent).
23* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The song "Cleopatra" could have been San Marino's entry for 2020, and Senhit even recorded a demo. It was later given to Azerbaijan's Efendi to be her own entry.
