Slovakia wanted to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time in 1993 but narrowly did not make it, finishing fourth in the Eastern Europe semi final.
The Slovak entry will be performed as the fifteenth in the second semi-final, after the ballad from Estonia and before up-tempo Norwegian entry. Slovakia is currently standing at number 31 to win the Eurovision Song Contest. It also doesn`t look favourable for the country to qualify as it is the twelfth favourite to qualify from semi-final two.
