We present an attempt of global analysis of Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS) ℓp↑→ℓ′πX data on single spin asymmetries and data on left-right asymmetry AN in p↑p→πX in order to simultaneously extract information on Sivers function and twist-three quark-gluon Efremov-Teryaev-Qiu-Sterman (ETQS) function. We explore different possibilities such as node of Sivers function in x or k⊥ in order to explain "sign mismatch" between these functions. We show that π± SIDIS data and π0 STAR data can be well described in a combined TMD and twist-3 fit, however π± BRAHMS data are not described in a satisfactory way. This leaves open a question to the solution of the "sign mismatch". Possible explanations are then discussed.
