Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009

Finland was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 with the song "Lose Control" written by Waldo, Karima, Ari Lehtonen, and Annie Kratz-Gutå, and performed by the band Waldo's People. The Finnish participating broadcaster, Yleisradio (Yle), organised the national final Euroviisut 2008 in order to select its entry for the contest. 12 entries were selected to compete in the national final, which consisted of three semi-finals, a Second Chance round and a final, taking place in January 2009. Eight entries ultimately competed in the final on 30 January where votes from the public selected "Lose Control" performed by Waldo's People as the winner.

Finland was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2009. Performing during the show in position 15, "Lose Control" was announced among the ten qualifying entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 16 May. It was later revealed that Finland had been selected by back-up juries to qualify after placing twelfth out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 42 points. In the final, Finland performed in position 24 and placed twenty-fifth (last) out of the 25 participating countries, scoring 22 points.
