"Where I Am" is a song performed by Danish-Australian singer Anja Nissen. The song was released as a digital download on 28 February 2017, through Universal Music. Anja represented Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017, and co-wrote the song with Angel Tupai and Michael D'Arcy.[1]

Nissen said: "The song is about letting go, particularly in relationships. Breaking down the emotional walls and letting you give love and receive love. Haven't we all been in that situation where we've felt lost and we've felt we don't know who we are and that no one is going to accept us for who we are? But at the end of the day we make a decision to not care and just to let go. That's what the song is about."[2] Anja Nissen wrote the song when she was 18 years old about her first relationship. She intended "Where I Am" to be her debut single after winning The Voice Australia in 2014, but it never materialized.[3]
