"Paper Dragon" is a song by Australian singer Dami Im. The song was announced on 31 August 2020 and released on 18 September 2020.[1] The song is the first by Im on the ABC Label, following a successful run with Sony and a number of self-released singles throughout 2019 and 2020. It was written by Im and Eleanor Witt, and produced by Konstantin Kersting.[2]
The track was originally intended to be Im's entry for Eurovision – Australia Decides, in an attempt to represent Australia at Eurovision 2021, but with the cancellation of the 2020 event due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Montaigne's internal selection for the 2021 event, Im "decided to release the song anyway".[3][4]
The song did not enter the ARIA top 100, but debuted at number 1 on the Australian Independent chart.[5]
A piano version was released on 9 October 2020.[6]
In an album review of My Reality in November 2021, David from auspOp called "Paper Dragon" the album highlight.[7]
