"Far Away" is a song composed by Leonid Shirin and Yury Vaschuk and performed by the band 3+2, and was to represent Belarus at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010, having been chosen internally by Belarusian broadcaster BTRC.[1][2] The song had previously taken part in the ONT contest "Musical Court", which was planned to be used to select the Belarusian entry for the Contest before ONT's application to join the European Broadcasting Union, the contest's organisers, was rejected.[2][3]

On 19 March 2010, it was announced that 3+2 had changed their song for the contest, and will now perform the song "Butterflies" at the contest, written by Maxim Fadeev and Malka Chaplin.[4][5]
