"Where Are You?" was the host country entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1998 in Birmingham, performed by Imaani.

It finished as runner up with 166 points to "Diva" by Dana International of Israel, a mere six points difference separating both nations and it remained the nation's best result until Sam Ryder finished in the same position in the 2022 Contest in Turin.

Lyrics[]

I see your picture in a frame
I see a face without a name
Riding alone on an empty train
Where are you?
 
I live in a house of broken hearts
Leaves are falling in the park
Every day is a question mark
Where are you?
 
I would drive through the rain (to find you)
Walk a desert plain (behind you)
You could unlock these chains (I'm tied to)
Where are you now?
 
Through the storm I call your name (to guide you)
Love could be the flame (beside you)
If you unlock these chains (I'm tied to)
Where are you now?
 
Lying in my room at night
Silhouettes are dressed in white
Waiting for the morning light
Where are you?
 
Each day we will live and learn
As the wheels of heaven turn
For you my candle burns
Where are you?
 
I would drive through the rain (to find you)
Walk a desert plain (behind you)
You could unlock these chains (I'm tied to)
Where are you now?
 
Through the storm I call your name (to guide you)
Love could be the flame (beside you)
If you unlock these chains (I'm tied to)
Where are you now?
 
(So near) so near
(So far) so far
Out there I can almost touch you
You're here in my mind all the time
Where are you now?
 
(I would drive through the rain) to find you
(Walk a desert plain)
You could unlock these chains
Where are you now?
 
Through the storm (I call your name)
Love could be the flame
If you unlock these chains
Where are you?
Where are you now?
