Georgia: Circus Mircus' official music video of 'Lock Me In' is now available

• The official music video of "Lock Me In", the song Circus Mircus will be singing in Turin representing Georgia at Eurovision 2022, is now out!

  Circus Mircus were internally selected by the Georgian broadcaster, GPB, to represent the nation at the 66th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. 

  While the song was officially  released three weeks ago, its music video was published only with the audio material on it, using a black background instead of the official music video footage, to express their solidarity towards the Ukrainian people. The band explained at that time, due to the  war in Ukraine , they felt that it was not the right time to release our happy and colorful music video.

  Watch below the official music video of 'Lock Me In': 

  The group will be competing 5th in the second semi-final show on May 12, 2022. Emilia Sandkvist, a member of the Sacha Jean Baptiste group, will be responsible for staging Circus Mircus’ performance in Turin.
