"I Believe in U" is a song written and performed by Ukrainian singer Jamala. The song was presented on 12 May 2017 in Kiev in Palace of Sports at the concert of the singer. It was released as a digital download on 14 May 2017 by Enjoy! Records.

Live performances

On 13 May 2017, Jamala performed the song during the voting interval of the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017, which took place at the International Exhibition Centre in Kiev, Ukraine.[1] The performance was disrupted by a man draped in an Australian flag who invaded the stage and briefly mooned the audience before being removed by security.[2] It was later reported that the identity of the man was in fact Ukrainian prankster Vitalii Sediuk.[3]

Music video

The shooting of the clip of the singer Jamala's song "I Believe in U" was held in April in Portugal. Directed by Igor Stekolenko, who directed over a hundred music videos for Ukrainian and foreign artists, including Okean Elzy and Brutto. The video shoot lasted three days and took place in Portuguese capital, Lisbon. The premiere of the video will take place in mid-may.[4] Lisbon would ultimately host the next year's contest.
