"Spirit Animal" is a song performed by Estonian singer Kerli. It was released as a standalone single on December 19, 2016,[2] prior to being performed at Eesti Laul 2017, Estonia's pre-selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2017.
On November 8, 2016, it was revealed that Kerli would participate in Eesti Laul 2017 contest with a brand new song titled "Spirit Animal".[3] In December, the song was released for free download on December 15 and for digital purchase on December 19. Kerli performed the song in the contest, and was a favourite to win.[4] Kerli reached the Eesti Laul final,[5] in which the song obtained second place, failing to win Estonia's ticket to Kyiv. This marks the second time Kerli has been runner up in Estonia's pre-selection, losing out in Eurolaul 2004 to Neiokõsõ. After the competition, the singer uploaded a vlog in her YouTube official account, stating that there would be no music video for the song, since the performances were very expensive to make and costed a lot.[6]
