Can You Hear Me? by Enrique Iglesias is the official song of UEFA EURO 2008™ – with the Spanish star scheduled to perform live at the final in Vienna on 29 June.

'Really pleased'
The 33-year-old, who has had No1s on every continent with songs such as Rhythm Divine, Be With You, Hero, Escape, Do You Know?, Tired of Being Sorry, will make his appearance in the ten-minute closing ceremony at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion. "I'm really pleased to be able to contribute to the football festival in Switzerland and Austria. It is an honour for me to perform at the final," said the Spaniard.

'The perfect choice'
Iglesias is one of popular music's brightest talents and UEFA is delighted to have secured his input for UEFA EURO 2008™. UEFA commercial director Philippe Margraff said: "Enrique is the perfect choice for us – he is an international superstar who loves football and has European roots. Can You Hear Me? will help create even more of a party atmosphere for the fans at EURO 2008."

Written by the trio of Enrique Iglesias, Steve Morales and Frankie Storm, Can You Hear Me? was produced in Miami by Big Ben Diehl and Carlos Pacuar. The three minute, 44 seconds song will be released to radio immediately. A ring tone will be accessible from 19 May and the commercial single will be available from 9 June.

Musical EURO
As well as the official UEFA EURO 2008™ song, two soundtracks have been produced by Jamaican reggae star Shaggy as mascot songs for UEFA EURO 2008™. Like a Superstar and Feel the Rush form the musical backdrop to video clips involving the twin mascots Trix and Flix. The official Swiss song is a new version of Bring En Hei by Basel-born Baschi.
