Russian ministry spokesperson Zakharova turns songwriter

The Russian Foreign Ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has supplied the words to "Paid in Full", a song performed by singer Katya Lel, Argumenty i Fakty newspaper reports.

Thesong came about as a chance encounter between Katya Lel and Zakharova, the latter coming up with the lyrics "after a sleepless night," BBC writes.

"I paid for everything… The race is over, and you are not the only one anymore. I'm free like a wave, once again," the Russian lyrics go.

It's not the first time that she's branched out into song, either. Last year she wrote "Return the Memory", a song about Syria for singer Narghiz.

However, Zakharova has pointed out that she's not for hire. "Many people ask me to write, but I don't work to order. I need to feel, to understand - emotions come first, and then the words," TASS cited her as saying.
