Više Nisam Tvoja
"Više nisam tvoja" ("I'm not yours anymore") was the entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2003, performed bilingually in Croatian and English by Claudia Beni. Beni first entered the song in Dora 2003, public broadcaster HRT's contest to choose Croatia's Eurovision entry. It prevailed, placing second in the semi-finals and first in the final contest. Following a debate over whether Beni should perform the song in Croatian or English at Eurovision, HRT hosted another contest, with Beni performing both versions of the song and allowing Croatians to cast votes via phone. The Croatian version won overwhelmingly, though it was ultimately decided that Beni would perform the song in a mix of the two languages. Beni performed eighth on the night and came in fifteenth place out of 26 entries, receiving a total of 29 points from six nations. The song went on to appear on the annual Eurovision compilation, as well as Beni's 2004 studio album ''Čista Kao Suza''. Composition "Više nisa ...
