Altought the official announcement was scheduled for tomorrow, 10th March, Circus Mircus, Georgian representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, has released today on its Youtube channel “Lock me in”, the song that the band will sing in Turin.
The official clip has only sound with a black background. The band has decided to launch it without video to express the solidarity with the Ukrainian people that it suffers the consecuences of the terrible invasion of the country by Russian troops.
Due to the war in Ukraine, we feel that is not the right time to release our happy and colourful music video.

As per ESC guidelines, the submission deadline is near, so we decided to released only audio, while using the black blackground instead of the official music video footage, to express our share of solidarity towards our Ukrainian sisters and brothers.
The band, as has added, hopes to post the music video in a near future when the situation in Ukraine gets back to normal.
The staging of Circus Mircus over the PalaAlpitour will be done by Emilia Sandkvist, member of the Sacha Jean Baptiste Group. Emilia created the staging of Georgia in Eurovision 2021 with Tornike Kipiani and “You”. Sacha Jean Baptiste is known as staging director of several entries for Eurovision in the past years.
Circus Mircus will compete at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, as Georgian representative, in the first half of the second semi-final, on 12th May.
