"Amanecer" was composed by Spanish songwriter Tony Sánchez-Ohlsson and Swedish Peter Boström and Thomas G:son, with lyrics by Sánchez-Ohlsson.[1] It was described as "a midtempo with a certain degree of drama and ethnic character". It was presented to Edurne in October 2014 during the selection of songs for her sixth studio album Adrenalina.[2]
In November 2014, Edurne and her record label Sony Music Spain decided to place a bid to Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE) to represent Spain in the 60th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest.[3] On 14 January 2015, RTVE announced that they had internally selected "Amanecer" by Edurne as their entrant.[4]
The single was produced between Spain and Sweden. The string section of the RTVE Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Pepe Herrero, recorded the string arrangements for the track.[2] The song premiered on 1 March 2015, and it was released as a single on digital platforms on 2 March 2015.[5][6]
On 3 March 2015, Edurne, the RTVE Symphony Orchestra and Choir, once again under the direction of Pepe Herrero, recorded the symphonic version of the song at the Teatro Monumental in Madrid.[7]
Edurne performed the song live for the first time on late night talk show Alaska y Segura, aired on La 1 of Televisión Española on 6 April 2015.[8] On 11 April 2015, she performed the song live on La 1's variety show La Alfombra Roja Palace.[9]
The official video of the song premiered on 9 March 2015.[10] It was filmed in studio in Valencia in January 2015, directed by David Arnal and Germán de la Hoz, and features visual effects by Virtual Art.[11] Edurne is accompanied in the video by model Saoro Nadal.[12]
On 23 May 2015, the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest was held in the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna hosted by Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF) and broadcast live throughout the continent. Edurne performed "Amanecer" twenty-first on the night, following Romania's "De la capăt" by Voltaj and preceding Hungary's "Wars for Nothing" by Boggie.[13] She was accompanied on stage by Italian dancer Giuseppe Di Bella.[14]
At the close of voting, it had received 15 points, placing twenty-first in a field of twenty-seven.[4][15]
