"The ASEAN Way" is the official anthem of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The lyrics were written by Payom Valaiphatchra[a] and the music composed by Kittikhun Sodprasert[b] and Sampow Tri-udom.[c][1] The anthem was the winning entry out of 99 finalists from all ten ASEAN countries in a competition held in 2008 to establish an official anthem.[2]

The ASEAN Way can be sung in multiple languages, with each member state having its own lyrics following ACC Guidelines.[3] However, the English version is used as the official rendition.[4]
