Vesna Pisarović (born April 9, 1978) is a Croatian pop singer.
Pisarović was born in Brčko, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Yugoslavia and grew up in Požega, Croatia, a part of the same country until she was 14. From her earliest childhood she attended a music school, where she played the flute, sang in choirs and participated in various music contests.
In the mid-1990s she moved to Zagreb, Croatia, where she continued her musical career. She began singing in clubs and writing songs. In 1997, while performing at the Croatian festival Zadarfest, she met Milana Vlaović. Vlaović started to write songs for Vesna.
In 2002 Vesna Pisarović won the annual Dora festival, the event that determines Croatia's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. Her song Everything I Want placed 11th in the Eurovision Song Contest 2002. Many traditional fans were disappointed that Pisarović performed her entire song in English, rather than the local language as the Southern Slavic states have been known to do, even in the 21st century. She wrote the song In the Disco which represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004.
