Stay by Monika Linkytė is the winner of Pabandom Iš Naujo! 2023 and is the entry for Lithuania in Liverpool.
The song is written by Monika Linkytė and Krists Indrišonoks.
A new version, Stay (Čiūto Tūto!) with alternate choir, was released on March 2 (Čiūto Tūto can be loosely translated as I'm Sorry or I Repent even, in a chant kind of way).
This is the version for Eurovision.
Monika releases a mini album/ EP on May 11 titled Healing.
A creamy white vinyl 12"inch is issued (and a digital version).
The Eurovision version of Stay (Čiūto Tūto) is included.

Eurovision fans already know Monika Linkytė from the 2015 Lithuanian entry This Time, a duet with Vaidas Baumila. They finished 18th in the final in Vienna.
Before that Linkytė entered every Lithuanian selection from 2010 to 2015 but this year was the first time since This Time.
2010 Give Away (6th)
2011 Days Go By (4th)
2012 Happy (3rd)
2013 Baby Boy (won the heat but withdrew)
2014 Breakaway (4th)
2015 Flying / Skęstu Monika performed this (self co-written) song in an early heat but in a later stage it was sung my Mia Pilibaitytė.
2015 This Time (1st, then 18th in Eurovision)
In the Lithuanian 2015 preselection This Time was performed three times by different singers, Mia, Monika Linkytė and Vaidas Baumila. It was later decided internally that it was going to be a duet. Poor Mia.
This Time was co-written by Monika Liubinaitė better known as Monika Liu of Sentimentai fame.
