The song, sung in Lithuanian, was released as a digital single on January 11.

Luktelk loosely translates as wait, hold on for a moment.

For the version on the Malmö album the song has been rearranged a bit, best noticed around the 2:10 mark.

On June 3 a sped up version and slowed down version were released.

Silvestras Beltė tried to get to Junior Eurovision in 2010 and his entry Pi Pa Po ended 8th in the final. 

Lithuania never disappoints when it come to their selections for Eurovision. This year we had 6 shows with a final on the 17th of February.

There were 39 songs competing and we find some Eurovision stars among the fold: The Roop (2020 & 2021), Vilija (Matačiūnaitė) and Andrius Pojavis who has been to Malmö before.

The Roop finished 3rd with Simple Joy, Vilija and Andrius were not so lucky, they each finished last in their semi.
