== Background and composition == "Luktelk" was composed and written by Silvestras Beltė, Džesika Šyvokaitė, and Elena Jurgaitytė. According to a press release given out by Lithuanian National Radio and Television (LRT), the songwriters composed the song specifically to enter the Eurovision Song Contest, with Belt stating that he wanted to show a "fun side of Lithuania – we are not always sad and closed... we want to show them at Eurovision". He also admitted that he wanted to make the song easily accessible to non-Lithuanians, adding "consonants [that] resemble other words in other languages".
