"Amanecer" (Spanish pronunciation: [amane'θeɾ], "Dawn") is a song performed by Spanish singer Edurne. It was chosen by public broadcaster TVE to represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in Vienna, where it placed 21st with 15 points.[1][2] The song was written by Tony Sánchez-Ohlsson, Peter Boström and Thomas G:son.[3] It premiered on 1 March 2015, and it was released as a single on digital platforms on 2 March 2015.[4][5]

Background and composition

The song, described as "a midtempo with a certain degree of drama and ethnic character", was written by Spanish songwriter Tony Sánchez-Ohlsson and Swedish songwriters Peter Boström and Thomas G:son. It was presented to Edurne in October 2014 during the selection of songs for her sixth studio album. In November 2014, Edurne and record label Sony Music Spain decided to place a bid to represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 and presented the song to public broadcaster TVE.[9] On 14 January 2015, TVE announced that they had internally selected Edurne as the Spanish Eurovision entrant in 2015 with "Amanecer".[1]

The single was produced in Spain and Sweden. The string section of the RTVE Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Pepe Herrero, recorded the string arrangements for the track.[6]

On 3 March 2015, Edurne, the RTVE Symphony Orchestra and the RTVE Choir, once again under the direction of Pepe Herrero, recorded the symphonic version of the song at the Teatro Monumental in Madrid.[10]

On 23 May 2015 Edurne performed the song live during the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 at the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Austria. She was accompanied on stage by Italian dancer Giusepe Di Bella.[13] At the end of the voting, it had received 15 points, placing 21st in a field of 27 songs.
