She was chosen to perform 4th in first semi final on the 11th June 2020. Following a strong performance, Utrana failed to qualify for the second consecutive edition. The Director General of URTV, Lloyd James, stated that he was not disheartened by the result, stating "We believe that there is a need to be a part of the Majestic Song Contest, and thata non-qualification does not mean a failure. "Legends" has charted successfully in many countries, and highlighted the Utranian music culture". He also confirmed participation in MSC23 and MSC24, hinting at a return to the national final format.

Majestic Song Contest 23
Following Utrana's confirmation, URTV were quick to announce an internal selection for edition 23. Rumoured artists for this edition included Jessie J, Sergey Lazarev, Steps, Wagner and The Script, after URTV announced the entrant they hoped to secure would be returning to the limelight after a number of years. On 18th June 2020, it was confirmed that Steps would reform for th 23rd edition of Majestics. Their song was revealed to be "Scared of the Dark". However, on the 26th June, it was revealed that they needed to withdraw due to personal circumstances within the band. URTV announced that they had no intention to withdraw and would find another act. It was also stated that URTV would happily ask Steps to be the Utranian act again in the future. Four days later, Molly Sanden and Will Ferrell (performing as Fire Saga) would be the Utranian entry, with the Engish/Icelandic song "Husavik".

Despite a strong performance in the semi-final, The Sounds failed to qualify to the final, finishing 12th. Despite fans support, The Sounds argued that their performance was sabotaged due to the in-ear track. Following an investigation by both MBN and URTV, it was found that these claims were false.

Majestic Song Contest 25
Following discussions within URTV, the broadcaster agreed to promote the music of the Welsh region of Utrana. This was met with mixed reactions from the public, with some arguing other regions were not considered and that a national final could have been the opportunity to promote various regions. Regardless, Alffa were chosen with the song Gwenwyn. The public support was limited, and this resulted in a failed qualification, finishing 14th, Utrana's worst result to date.

Alffa stated following their non-qualification "We were used as a novelty. The only reason that this song was chosen was due to the Welsh language. We were and still are proud of the song, but feel that Majestics was not the most suitable place for the song." Many members of the public and music critics agreed with this statement, suggesting that the style of song was not the tpical song related to the contest. In contrast, Head of Delegation, Anne Turner, stated "We as a team will not deny we were trialling something different in our entry this edition. However, this is nothing to do with the Welsh language. We received many songs in a variety of languages. We believed Gwenwyn was a strong choice for this aim, although the public, both in Utrana and in other Majestic nations did not agree. We will reconvene for the next edition. We would like to thank Alffa for their effort in the contest and they will always remain a part of the Majestic family. If they ever wish to return to the contest, with the right song, we would be more than happy to welcome them back."

Majestic Song Contest 26
With the public losing interest with URTV's selections, the broadcaster promised a "megastar" for MSC 26. In the build up to the reveal, URTV stated that the selected entrant has previously taken to the MSC stage and is prepared to come back with a stronger song. Teaser clips were released in the build up, including footage of a foggy cemetery and the stage the entrant had previously performed on. It was later revealed that that Ella Henderson would represent Utrana with the song "Ghost". The decision was met with universal acclaim for both the act and the song, from Utrana and from other Majestic countries. "Ghost" was an early favourite with fans, with many suggesting it could be the winner.

During the third semi final, Henderson gave a strong vocal performance. Utrana qualified to the final for the first time in three editions, coming first in semi final 3 with 153 points. During the final, Henderson again gave a strong performance. By the end of the night, Utrana came 9th with 135 points. This led to URTV to put a greater focus on their participation in future contests, while also stating they are expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

Majestic Song Contest 27
Utrana confirmed their appearance in the Majestic Song Contest 27 shortly after the final of the 26th edition. Within the following days, it was announced that Wiktoria would be representing Utrana with the song "As I Lay Me Down". Wiktoria had previously taken part in the contest on two occasions, for Rosland in MSC11 and for  Elirea in MSC13. Of her return, Wiktoria stated "I know what to expect of the contest as a whole, so I am going in eyes wide open. I hope to make a third final and make the Utranian people proud with their first win."

Majestic Song Contest 28
Following the 2nd top ten result for Utrana, URTV had soon announced their participation in the contest until at least MSC30. The broadcaster sent Faith Hill with the song "Where Are You, Christmas?". Within their song and artist reveal,URTV announced the following statement regarding the song choice:-

"Following a difficult and upsetting year for many, where the Covid-19 Pandemic has caused much uncertainty of any form of normality in day to day life. With Christmas just around the corner, it is still unclear if we can spend time with our loved ones. The reason behind this song is that the current circumstances may make it seem that there is no reason to celebrate, but there will be light at the end of this very dark tunnel."

Utrana was announced to be performing 12th in the third semi final, following Altanvi and preceding  Nexus. The performance was met positively, despite many fans and competitors suggesting the song was not strong enough to qualify to the final. This came to fruition when the results were announced and Utrana came in 12th place. Despite the 12th place finish, Utrana received 12 points from Pandora.

Following her time in the contest, Hill stated that she was proud of her performance and was aware of the difficulties of qualifying due to the strong semi-final. Upon her return to Utrana, Hill was interviewed by URTV, stating "I would definitely go back if I was asked. Majestics was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had in my professional career. Representing my country and having my own professional freedom in my performances are something not many people get to have in this industry. Maybe in a few editions I will go back, but for know, I want to let other singers feel the energy and positivity I felt on that stage." URTV responded by saying "The Utranian delegation is immensely proud of the work Faith has put into the song and performance. We would like to thank Faith for making the Utranian people proud and we hope to wrok with her again in the future."

Majestic Song Contest 29
During MSC28, URTV internally selected Xavier Darcy for the next edition. Darcy had recently won The Voice Utrana with his entry "Jonah". Many fans stated that they wanted the song to go the Majestic Song Contest and petitioned for URTV to approach Darcy. Following successful communications, Darcy was selected as the next entrant for Utrana. Darcy promoted the song across various national finals, with many outlets praising his vocals and staging.

Utrana was drawn to perform second in the second semi final, following Rahuna and preceding  Kingdom of Winchester. at the end of the voting, Utrana finished 9th, failing to qualify for the final. Many criticised the staging of "Jonah". While it was praised during various national finals, the performance looked completely on the MSC stage. Many fans believed this was the reason Utrana failed to qualify. URTV issued a statement following the criticisms, stating "During national finals, we had used an interim creative director whilst waiting for the contract to be signed with Kevin Swain. Kevin had a completely different outlook on the song and adjusted the staging to his vision. Although we are happy with his ideas, URTV believe Xavier's staging ideas discussed with the interim creative director gave a fuller performance".

Majestic Song Contest 30
Following the announcement that the theme for the 30th edition would be Songs of the 80s, as voted for by members of the MBU, URTV revealed the Utrana's most popular singer Cher (who previously represented Utrana in MSC17 and MSC21) would return for her third participation, this time alongside Meatloaf. Of her return, Cher stated; "To be asked back for a third time is an absolute honour. Each time I watch the contest, I get fond memories of previous participations with a hint of jealousy of those who get to perform. I can not wait to get back on the Majestics stage, and this time have someone to keep me company". Of his debut, Meatloaf said; "When I got the call I knew there was no question. To be able to participate alongside a seasoned professional like Cher is amazing. She knows the contest so well and has already given me advice about how to cope with the pressures of the show. Hopefully, we can come back with the best ever result for Utrana". URTV Director-General, Lloyd James, stated " When the theme was revealed to be songs of the 80s, we knew instantly who we wanted to send. Cher and Meatloaf are huge stars and will undoubtedly do us proud".

On the 11th March, Utrana performed 8th in the first semi-final, following Bruba Islands and preceeding  Sintriaslands. Despite performing in a strong semi final, as many fans discussed, Utrana successfully qualified for the Grand Final for the first time since MSC27.
