"Yak tebe ne liubyty, Kyieve mii!" (Ukrainian: «Як тебе не любити, Києве мій!», lit. 'How can I not love you, Kyiv of mine!') is a lyrical song written by Kyiv composer Ihor Shamo with lyrics by poet Dmytro Lutsenko. At first the song was performed in 1962 in duet by Yuriy Gulyayev and Kostiantyn Ohnievyi who at that time performed at Kyiv Opera Theatre. After over half a century later, in 2014 the song became the official anthem of Kyiv city.
