Belarus was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 with the song "My Galileo", composed by Alexandra Kirsanova and Konstantin Drapezo, with lyrics by Aleksey Solomaha, and performed by Aleksandra and Konstantin themselves. The Belarusian participating broadcaster, the Belarusian Television and Radio Company (BTRC), selected its entry through the national final Evrovidenie 2004. This was the first-ever entry from Belarus in the Eurovision Song Contest. The national final consisted of fifteen competing acts participating in a televised production where public voting selected the winner. "Moy galiley" performed by Aleksandra and Konstantin was selected as the winner with 2,311 votes. The song was later retitled as "My Galileo".

Belarus competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2004. Performing during the show in position 2, "My Galileo" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Belarus placed nineteenth out of the 22 participating countries in the semi-final with 10 points.
