Lithuania - On Fire - The Roop

2nd single digital release image January 17
The Roop is the winner of Pabandom iš naujo! and they were on their way represent Lithuania with On Fire.
The official video is here.
On Fire is written by the trio themselves, they are Vaidotas Valiukevičius, Robertas Baranauskas and Mantas Banišauskas.
The song was released as a digital single on January 14 and January 17.
Two versions of the song were released which appear to be the same but a slightly longer one has a longer intro.
The latter release is accidental, as the intro bit does not belong to the song. But it was available to buy so we'll have it in the list here.
The longer one is no longer available.

On Fire is the second attempt to score the Eurovision ticket for The Roop. In 2018 they ended third in the Lithuanian selection with Yes I Do.

The Roop entered the 2021 Lithuanian selection with Discotheque, and they won!.

LP Album in November 2021 May 2022
Update: The Roop release their album including On Fire and Discoteque on May 11 2022. CD will follow later and LP even later. Out on Warner.
