While Mei is rehearsing the Israeli entry on the stage in Copenhagen, the new videoclip of her song, Same heart, has been released.

The videoclip was recorded in Israel’s southernmost city, Eilat, and was sponsored by Eilat’s municipality. The Eilat Hotel Association gave the director, Lior Nordman, a free hand, in order to show the attractions of the city to the whole world through the videoclip. It includes sights of the Israeli desert, the beaches, the dolphin reef, Eilat’s coral world and more.

Mei will perform Same heart as song number 2 on the second semifinal on May 8.
