"Salvation" is a song recorded by Slovenian singer-songwriter ManuElla and the follow-up to her Eurovision Song Contest entry "Blue and Red".[1] It was written by Maja Keuc, Marjan Hvala and Manuella Brečko. The track was released on February 24, 2017, as a stand-alone single, and was performed for the first time at EMA 2017, in which ManuElla had a guest slot. Backed by an instrumentation of guitars and drums, the country-pop track has feel-good and inspirational lyrics.

Commercial performance[edit]

Although the song didn't impact any official chart, 'Salvation' performed well on streaming services, especially Spotify. Due to its high streams, the song is currently the highest streamed non-Eurovision single by a Slovenian solo artist.

Critical reception[edit]

The track received generally favourable reviews from critics. Wiwibloggs[2] described the song as 'refreshing and current' and that it sounds like a continuation of her previous single "Blue and Red". Eurovision Australia[3] expressed their fondness of the track and called it 'energetic' and ManuElla's vocals were complemented.
