" Everyway That I Can " es la canción ganadora del Festival de Eurovisión 2003 cantada en inglés por Sertab Erener .

La canción fue escrita por Demir Demirkan a principios de 2003 y producida y arreglada por Ozan Çolakoğlu , ^[1] famoso por sus trabajos con el ídolo pop Tarkan . Habiendo seleccionado previamente a Erener para representar a la nación, la locutora turca TRT eligió su canción para representar a Turquía en el Festival de la Canción de Eurovisión 2003 en Riga . Inicialmente, "Everyway That I Can" causó controversia con el público turco, considerado demasiado picante por algunos y demasiado pop por otros. Las críticas también surgieron por la decisión de Sertab de interpretar la canción en inglés en lugar de en turco. La canción, que combina cuerdas de ritmo rápido con instrumentos tradicionales turcos, no se consideró una de las favoritas para ganar: dúo ruso tATu were the hottest favourites since Cliff Richard in 1968.

Turkey performed fourth on the night in May and received an explosive reception afterwards. The song had been re-written slightly to include some high notes and a belly dancing routine was added. Erener sang counter to the rhythm in places and the backing vocals were synthesised with Turkish stringed instruments. The voting on the night saw Russia, Turkey and Belgium switch places at the top a number of times before Slovenia eventually gave Turkey the victory by just two points.

Eurovision victory and worldwide success

The track was released all over Europe after the win, shooting to the top of the charts in Turkey, Greece, and Eastern Europe, holding the number-one position in Sweden for three weeks, breaking the top ten in Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, and Austria and charting within the top twenty in Germany and Switzerland. It received a platinum certification in Greece and a gold certification in Sweden.^[2][3]

The video of the release sees Erener in an Ottoman style castle, its rose gardens, imperial harem (living quarters) and Turkish Bath (hamam). Roses carry a major symbolism throughout the video. Erener is dressed in traditional Turkish styles, and Turkish female dancers are also present.

Remixes of the song were also released, including a Turkish version, a club remix, and a European dance remix. A live version was brought out and also included on the original single CD, along with two Galleon club remixes. The track was included on the official Eurovision 2003 CD as the original version, however.

After Eurovision

Erener performed the single as a medley at the 2004 final in Istanbul using male dancers but the same choreography, and included it in her first English album No Boundaries.

In 2005, the song competed in Congratulations: 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest as one of the fourteen best ever Eurovision entrants, and finished ninth, beating popular artists such as Celine Dion's "Ne partez pas sans moi", Johnny Logan and Dana International in the process. Erener herself appeared onstage to perform the final verse of the song on the night.

In 2006, it was entered in Die Grand Prix Hitliste, a German version of the above, and beat off stiff competition from ABBA's "Waterloo" and eleven others to finish second. Ruslana's "Wild Dances", the Ukrainian 2004 winning entry, was first.

The song was also included in a compilation of Sertab Erener's national and international hits released in 2007.
