Cyprus was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song "Comme ci, comme ça", composed by Dimitris Korgialas, with lyrics by Poseidonas Yiannopoulos, and performed by Evridiki. The Cypriot participating broadcaster, the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC), internally selected its entry for the contest. Evridiki was announced on 26 January 2007. She had previously represented Cyprus in 1992 and in 1994 where she both placed 11th. The song, "Comme ci, comme ça", was presented to the public on 23 February 2007 during the special show Cyprus 12 Points - Chypre 12 Points. This was the first time that Cyprus was represented with a song performed entirely in the French language at the Eurovision Song Contest.

Following a promotional tour that brought Evridiki to Russia, Belgium, Belarus, and the UK, Cyprus competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest on 10 May 2007. Performing during the show in position 3, "Comme ci, comme ça" 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 Cyprus placed 15th out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final, with 65 points.
