"Antes muerta que sencilla" (English: "I'd rather be dead than plain") is a song composed and written by Spanish singer María Isabel in 2004, when she was nine years old. It was the Spanish entry at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2004 and it won the competition with a then record total of 171 points. It later became a huge hit in Spain, Latin America, Japan, and it was also a top ten hit in France and a top twenty in Switzerland.
