About Embers

"Embers" is a song by British singer-songwriter James Newman, released on 11 March 2021. It represented the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in Rotterdam, where it came in last place with no points. The song is about enduring passion, which Newman feels has resonance with the approaching end point of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In an interview on BBC radio's Newsbeat, Newman stated: "I feel like everyone wants a party and to have some fun so when I was writing, that's what I had in my head. I wanted something people can dance to, even if it's just in their kitchen."
