It's My Time (Jade Ewen song)  "It's My Time", is a song sung by Jade Ewen and was the British entry for the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest, held in Moscow, Russia, in May 2009. The song was composed and written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Diane Warren and became the UK's most successful Eurovision entry since 2002 by coming fifth, and a significant improvement on the previous and following year's entries, 'Even If' and 'That Sounds Good to Me', which came last in the contest. Ewen has remained having the highest points for the UK since 1997. The song was written specifically for the Eurovision Song Contest. Webber and Warren wrote it in two hours. Diane Warren talked about writing the song in an interview for the BBC: "I don't usually co-write much, I tend to write by myself, so that was quite scary – especially with some like Andrew Lloyd Webber who's a legend!" Ewen won the right to sing the song as a result of her winning the United Kingdom's Eurovision selection process "" on 31 January. Lloyd Webber also announced that he would accompany Ewen, by playing the piano on stage with her in Moscow. The official version of the song was first broadcast on Ken Bruce's BBC Radio 2 show on 23 March 2009. As the United Kingdom is a part of the "Big Four", the song was entered directly into the final of the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest, held on 16 May 2009 in Moscow. The show received an average of 7.8 million viewers and peaked at 9.8 million during the voting, which is a 35.3% share of the UK TV audience. The United Kingdom did well during the contest and finished in 5th place, with 173 points in contrast to the previous few years in which none of the UK's entries from 2003 onwards have made it into the top 15. It was the UK's highest placing since Jessica Garlick in 2002 and the largest number of points received since 1997, when it won with "Love Shine a Light". Digital Spy gave the song a mixed review, saying:  Equally, if you're going to ask Andrew Lloyd Webber and Diane Warren to write a song for your X Factor-style talent contest, you're probably going to end up with something that sounds like an X Factor winner's song crossed with a show tune. "I've got the will, I've earned the right," croons Ewen before the bombast begins, "to show you it's my time tonight".
