context_page_description: "De la capăt" is a song recorded by Romanian group Voltaj for their tenth studio album X. It was made available as a single for digital download on 31 October 2014 by Cat Music and Voltz Media. A Romanian song, two other versions were released eventually—"De la capăt" in Romanian and English, and "All Over Again" fully in English. "De la capăt" was written by band members Călin Goia, Gabriel Constantin and Adrian Cristescu with Silviu Marian Păduraru and Victor Răzvan Alstani, while music was composed by the aforementioned alongside Monica-Ana Stevens and Andrei-Mădalin Leonte. "De la capăt" has been described as an indie pop rock and soft rock song, and is a manifesto raising awareness for children whose parents have left them behind to work abroad.
  "De la capăt" represented Romania in the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, Austria after winning the pre-selection show Selecția Națională. The country went on to reach 15th place in a field of 26, scoring a total of 35 points. During Voltaj's minimalistic and mostly black-and-white show, the stage was scattered with multiple suitcases while excerpts from the music video were shown on the background LED screen.
context_section_description: The Eurovision Song Contest 2015 took place at the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria and consisted of two semi-finals on 19 and 22 May, respectively, and the final on 23 May 2015. According to Eurovision rules all countries, except the host country, the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom and Italy), and Australia, were required to qualify from one semi-final to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progressed to the final. Voltaj performed 15th in the first semi-final, preceded by Albania and followed by Georgia, and sang 20th in the Grand Final, preceded by Latvia and followed by Spain.
  "De la capăt (All Over Again)" has been used for Eurovision, as announced on 15 March 2015. Band leader Goia explained for Adevărul that his personal favorite version of the song was the fully Romanian one, but thought that its message needed to be understood by foreigners as well. He said that he found the perfect version to tell the message as well as keeping the Romanian language. For their minimalistic and mostly black-and-white show, Voltaj are seen performing in all-black outfits designed by Florin Dobre while the stage is scattered with "strategically placed" suitcases. Some inserts from the song's music video are displayed on the background LED screen. At the end of their performance, Goia says: "Don't leave your children behind", and the camera cuts to Schinteie, the boy featured in the song's video.
