Even If was the United Kingdom entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 in Belgrade performed by Andy Abraham.
In the final, it was performed second following Romania and preceding Albania. At the end of voting, the song finished in joint last place with Germany and Poland, each scoring 14 points apiece
BBC commentator Sir Terry Wogan (who championed Andy as the UK representative) blamed the poor result on political voting by the Eastern European countries, and resigned from his position following the 2008 contest.

You're keeping me fascinated
No I ain’t running all over town
I feel so intoxicated
I’m struggling to keep
My feet on the ground
I’m not playing girl
This ain’t no game at all
And for the first time
I’m not looking for love
So come here baby
Listen to me
I just want 'cha
To believe me
Even if the world stops lovin'
I could never stop lovin' you
Even if the sun stops risin'
I still wanna wake up with you
Even if my heart was breakin'
I could never break your heart too
Even if all words lost their meaning
You would understand I love you
Your sensuality thrills me
It strips me to my soul
As your reality cures me
Your lovin' takes a hold
I’m barely in control
I’m not pretending girl
That ain’t what’s goin' on
There’s no room for lies
Ain’t no room at all
So come here baby
Listen to me
I just want 'cha
To believe me
Even if the world stops lovin'
I could never stop lovin' you
Even if the sun stops risin'
I still wanna wake up with you
Even if my heart was breakin
I could never break your heart too
Even if all words lost their meaning
You would understand I love you
Break it down break it down girl you gotta know
We got to break it down break it down it’s
Time to feel the flow
Break it down break it down girl you gotta know
We got to break it down break it down it’s
Time to feel the flow
Even if the world stops lovin'
I could never stop lovin' you
Even if the sun stops risin'
I still wanna wake up with you
Even if my heart was breakin'
I could never break your heart too
Even if all words lost their meaning
You would understand I love you
