The song, representing her country, won the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 held in Istanbul with a score of 280 points.[1] A Ukrainian-language version called “Dyki tantsi” (Ukrainian: \u0414\u0438\u043a\u0456 \u0442\u0430\u043d\u0446\u0456) was released in Russia and Ukraine.

With a mixture of English and Ukrainian lyrics, “Wild Dances” had the distinction of becoming the first Eurovision-winning song to be sung at least partly in a language other than English since the rule-change of 1999, when countries were allowed to sing in a language of their choosing, rather than one of their official languages. With this win, Ukraine became the third post-Soviet country to win the contest, after Estonia and Latvia. The song was remembered for an energetic performance, which Ruslana gave in a leather outfit, inspired by Xena: Warrior Princess and the ethnic tradition of Ukraine. The work on the song lasted for about three months. Editing and sound engineering was done by Ruslana together with specialists from Kyiv, London and New York City. The recording was done together with a guitarist from Cool Before, and an ex-trumpet player from Zdob \u0219i Zdub. Ukrainian and English lyrics of the song, as well as the chorus and melody, underwent significant changes since the initial stage. The song was bought with exclusive copyright in Vietnam by Vietnamese singer-songwriter H\u1ed3 Qu\u1ef3nh H\u01b0\u01a1ng. She has an own Vietnamese version of the song, entitled “V\u0169 \u0111i\u1ec7u hoang d\u00e3”.[3] (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Usage in media[edit]The song is used in the soundtrack of the 2008 video game Grand Theft Auto IV.[4] American gymnast and 2011 world champion Jordyn Wieber has revealed that she uses this song as her floor exercise music.[5] The single was included on the official compilation album called The Very Best of Eurovision celebrating the 60th anniversary of the contest.[6]Track listing[edit]Official versions“Wild Dances” [Ukrainian version radio edit] \u2013 2:55“Wild Dances” [Album version] \u2013 3:00“Wild Dances” [Ukrainian version Harem’s pop mix] \u2013 2:48“Wild Dances” [Harem’s pop mix] \u2013 2:48“Wild Dances” [Part II] \u2013 3:58“Wild Dances” [Ukrainian version Harem’s club mix] \u2013 3:16“Wild Dances” [Harem’s club mix] \u2013 3:16“Wild Dances” [Ukrainian version Harem’s percussion mix] \u2013 2:52“Wild Dances” [Harem’s percussion mix] \u2013 2:52“Wild Dances” [Break mix] \u2013 3:25“Wild Dances” [Groove mix] \u2013 3:16“Wild Dances” [Instrumental version] \u2013 3:00“Wild Dances” [Part II instrumental version] \u2013 3:57Music video[edit]The official music video for the song was first aired on 6 May 2004 (before Eurovision) on MTV Russia in the 12 Angry Viewers show, but was booed by the audience.[7] The shooting took place in the abandoned building of the Ice Palace,[which?] which was at once renamed ‘The Iceberg Palace” by the members of Ruslana’s crew because no heating equipment brought with Ruslana could heat the cold air of the huge building to a comfortable level. The building was ‘decorated’ with sheer concrete and windows without glass. Despite the script of the video-clip, which provided for constant burning fire in large barrels, torches on the stage, wireworks and even a real military flame thrower, only the “Wild Dances” could help people to ultimately warm up.[citation needed]Cover art[edit]Photographer – Valerii ReshetniakWeekly charts[edit]Year-end charts[edit]Chart (2004)PositionBelgium (Ultratop Flanders)[24]3Sweden (Sverigetopplistan)[25]43Sales and certifications[edit]Release history[edit]RegionDateFormatUkraine17 May 2004CD singleGermany24 May 2004GreeceNetherlandsFinlandBelgiumSwedenLatviaLithuaniaEstoniaPolandIsraelTurkeyCzech RepublicSlovakiaSloveniaUnited KingdomUnited States29 April 2008Digital downloadReferences[edit]^ “Ukraine celebrates Eurovision win”.
