The video is made up of fans around the world who, following an invitation from the Serbian Eurovision team and OGAE Serbia, recorded themselves singing using their smartphones and other electronic devices.Marija Šerifović, who won the Eurovision Song Contest for Serbia in 2007 with Molitva, also features in the video.

And read the lyrics to Beauty never lies:
In a shadowy world lived a dazzling girl
Unaware of the light she’d imprisoned inside
Took a million mistakes to lead her to daybreak
But she made it through, now I know the truth
Beauty never lies, never hides, never gives a damn
Beauty never lies, no, it cries: “Here I am”
Finally I can say, yes, I’m different and it’s okay
Here I am
Had to shatter the fears laughing in the mirror
Undermining me, now at last I see
Beauty never lies, never hides, never gives a damn
Beauty never lies, no, it cries: “Here I am”
Finally I can say, yes, I’m different and it’s okay
Here I am, here I am
Beneath the veil of skin my heart’s entangled in
Beauty’s embodied
Beneath the mask of shame, my soul is set aflame
Beauty never lies
Beauty never lies
Finally I can say, yes, I’m different and it’s okay
Here I am, here I am
