"The Light In Our Soul" was the second single from the album My Number One by 2005 Eurovision winner Helena Paparizou. The song was written by Costas Bigalis for the Eurovison song along with "O.K." and "Let's Get Wild," but it was "My Number One" that was chosen. The song was disqualified, because it was revealed that the song had been covered by another artist and leaked out onto the internet the year before. Paparizou herself stated during a concert in Chicago, USA, that "The Light in Our Soul" actually leaked on the internet, and was therefore disqualified from Eurovision. She then made a very jovial comment regarding internet file-sharing: "No no, I do not use the internet. This is why we don't like the internet."
