MÉLOVIN made a bold comeback to Vidbir earlier this year in the hopes of returning to Eurovision after previously representing Ukraine in 2018. Despite ultimately placing third in the national selection, the singer’s dreaming spirit lives on and he has now released a music video for his entry “Dreamer”.
The star previously explained the song tells a universal story of daring to dream, inspired by Ukrainian composer Volodymyr Ivasyuk — who gave his life for Ukrainian music during the Soviet occupation.
For the music video, MÉLOVIN gets more personal and lays bare his own story of formation. The Ukrainian singer chose to appear naked in some shots as he shares his own path from the birth of a dreamer.
MÉLOVIN – “Dreamer” (Music Video)
“This piece of music is special to me because of its depth and philosophy. ‘Born to Shine and Nothing Else’: this is how the team and directors Pavel Zakrevsky and Mariami Pogrebinsky called this clip. This is a story from the birth of a dreamer to… to what, everyone will decide for themself after watching the clip.
“It was the first time I was naked on the set. Completely naked. It was morally unusual, I had a lot of contradictions inside. Who would agree to be naked in front of a huge film crew? It was a competition within myself. But I came up with this shot – I had to go to the very end if I call myself a creator. I challenged myself to do this in order to convey the picture I had in my mind. To play again the same role that each of us, without exception, has gone through. But it was worth it! Everything was real, without embellishments. Just like 27 years ago,” shared the star in a press release.
With this music video, MÉLOVIN emphasises that people are born sincere dreamers who make this world brighter and better. He calls on everyone to dream and not to give up on the way to realising their own dreams, as it’s this faith that will help guide us through the most challenging aspects of our journey through life:
“Shine brightly and do not be afraid of anything. Dream and make your dreams come true! We are not born to live in fear. We are born to shine and nothing else.”

Teresa and Maria was my favorite with Dreamed my 2nd. However, I’ve grown out of liking Teresa and Maria. I think I like Dreamer more. I just don’t like the rap portion from Teresa and Maria. I also think I had sympathy for Jerry really wanting her to experience Eurovision
Oh Mélovin, such a tease! Totally in your prime right now, and I love how you’ve found your falsetto voice as well. You’ve already been in my dreams before, so now I guess there will be even more. 🙂
My Esc 2024 NQ guilty pleasure!!!!
And with his platinum blonde hair, he looks like a model!!! IIm a heterosexual woman abd I know about his bisexuality, but I don’t care. I just love him soooo much as an artist, and as a personality! I strongly believe that he will come back to Eurovision stage very very soon because he deserves it!
Too gay!!!
I’ll keep this one in mind when I consider the terrible lyrics of Teresa and Maria. Ukraine could’ve done so much worse.
That song is too gay for me. But I liked that song, it’s my favorite song I’ve ever had!
Go dreamlover!!!
Can never be “too gay” 😉
Why Is He Acting So Gay And Exposing His Clothless Body ? Its Looking Like He Is Atencion Seeking . He Is Talented , I Dont See Why He Must Behave This Way To Be Famous .
Just Be Yourself Melowin
I just don’t know what happened because it just too LGBT related to us.
Maybe he’s gay and likes to show off his body. Why not?
He was my favorite in the Ukrainian selection this year. Such a pity he didn’t win
Well Ukraine Telewisions Rigged It From The Start For Jerry “Heil” . They Make It So Ovious
I agree with U.
