"Embers" was the United Kingdom's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in Rotterdam, co-written and performed by James Newman, who had been chosen to represent the nation the previous year before the Contest was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
As the nation is a member of the "Big Five", it had direct qualification for the final but suffered the same fate as Jemini's "Cry Baby" when it failed to secure a single point from both the jury vote and televote.
Lyrics[]
Sometimes I know my fire burns low
But as long as you're with me I'll never get cold
'Til day and night, 'til darkness and light
I never worry when you're by my side
Oh, feelings change and seasons fade
But nothing will burn us out
Nothing can stop us now
Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (Yeah, you and I gonna light up the room)
Out of the embers
There's a fire burning for you (Yeah, there's a fire burning for you)
I feel the heat here
There's still a chance for us
Down herе in the ashes, yeah, thеre's something growing
Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (Yeah, you and I gonna light)
Light up the room
Light up the room
You and me forever, we're free
We're cool under pressure, and that's all we need
So take my hand, and forget the past
We're in this together, there's no looking back
Oh, feelings change and seasons fade
But nothing will burn us out
Nothing can stop us now
Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (Yeah, you and I gonna light up the room)
Out of the embers
There's a fire burning for you (Yeah, there's a fire burning for you)
I feel the heat here
There's still a chance for us
Down here in the ashes, yeah, there's something growing
Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (Yeah, you and I gonna light)
Light up the room
Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (Yeah, you and I gonna light up the room)
Out of the embers
You and I are gonna light up the room (Yeah, you and I gonna light up the room)
