Austria was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with the song "I Am Yours", written by Jimmy Harry, Dominic Muhrer, Paul Estrela, Florian Meindl, and Markus Christ, and performed by the band The Makemakes. The Austrian participating broadcaster, Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF), organised the national final Wer singt für Österreich? in order to select its entry for the contest. In addition, ORF was also the host broadcaster and staged the event at the Hall D of the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, after winning the previous edition with the song "Rise Like a Phoenix" performed by Conchita Wurst.
In the national final, sixteen artists competed over three televised shows resulting in the selection of six finalists with a potential Eurovision song each. In the final, ten international juries and a public vote first selected the top two entries to proceed to a second round of voting. In the second round, "I Am Yours" performed by The Makemakes was selected as the winner after gaining 78% of the votes from a public vote.
As the host country, Austria qualified to compete directly in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Austria's running order position was determined by draw. Performing in position 14 during the final, Austria placed twenty-sixth out of the 27 participating countries and failed to score any points. This was the fourth time the nation received nul points in the history of the competition.
