"Flame Is Burning" is a song performed by Russian singer Yuliya Samoylova. It would have represented Russia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 that was held in the Ukrainian capital Kiev.
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, in 2015. State broadcaster Channel One announced on 13 April 2017 of their withdrawal from the contest.
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. 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.
