Mammadova was announced as the Azerbaijani artist for the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 on 8 November 2017.[4] Her entry, "X My Heart", was released on 4 March 2018.[5]
She performed first in the first semi-final on 8 May, placing 11th with 94 points, 14 points behind tenth-place Finland. She received 47 points from both the jury and the televote, receiving 12 points from the Greek jury. As of the 2022 contest, her entry is the only Azerbaijani entry not to qualify for the final.[6]
In regards to the song, Aisel stated: "I feel a strong connection with the lyrics of the song, since believing in myself made me overcome several difficulties I had in my life. This is a message I want to send to everyone: believing in yourself can make you stronger than cannonballs."[7] However, two years later, she said that she regretted her performance with "X My Heart", and said that she had never actually connected with the song.
