"Take Me as I Am" is a song performed by Georgian singer Tornike Kipiani released on 2 March 2020. It was chosen to represent Georgia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 on 30 January 2020.[1] In the song's lyrics, he states not wanting to follow western European ideals (such as "talk like an Englishman", "dress like an Italian", "dance like a Spanish guy", "play like a German" and "smell like a French homme"), and then says "I love you" in their languages.[2]
