On 13 March 2017, the Security Service of Ukraine announced that they might ban Samoylova from entering Ukraine due to her unlawful visit to Crimea, a peninsula that was unilaterally annexed by Russia from Ukraine in 2014 and 2015.[4] State broadcaster Channel One announced on 13 April 2017 of their withdrawal from the contest.[5][6][7]

Composition

The song is about hope, that never dies, like a flame burning in the dark. The key is B minor (but it ends with a major chord) and the tempo is around 73 BPM.

Music video

The only "official video" of the song shows the singer on a stage, singing live on the Russian Channel 1. It has been uploaded on YouTube from the official Eurovision Channel.
