Cyprus was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1999 with the song "Tha 'nai erotas", composed by George Kallis, with lyrics written by Andreas Karanikolas. The song was performed by singer Marlain. The Cypriot participating broadcaster, the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC), selected the entry through a national final titled Diagonismós Tragoudioú Giourovízion 1999: Epilogí Tis Kypriakís Symmetochís (Διαγωνισμός Τραγουδιού Γιουροβίζιον 1999: Επιλογή Της Κυπριακής Συμμετοχής; Eurovision Song Contest 1999: Selection of the Cypriot Entry)
The national final saw nine songs compete for the opportunity to represent the nation. The event was held on 9 February 1999 and the winner was decided by a panel of media personalities. Angelidou's song received the most votes and was selected to represent Cyprus in the contest. Angelidou's performance was the 14th performed at the contest on 29 May 1999 and finished in 22nd place after voting had finished. Despite at one point being first in betting odds to win the contest, the entry received only two points in total, both from the United Kingdom.
