Greece was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 with the song "Everything", composed by Nikos Karvelas, with lyrics by Anna Vissi, and performed by Vissi herself. The Greek participating broadcaster, Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT), selected its entry through a four-song national final titled Feel the Party on 14 March 2006, after having previously selected the performer internally. In addition, ERT was also the host broadcaster and staged the event at the Olympic Indoor Hall in Athens after winning the previous edition with the song "My Number One" by Helena Paparizou.
To promote the entry, Vissi made appearances across Europe in countries that take part in the contest, including events in Belgium, Greece, Russia, Malta, Cyprus, Albania, Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, and Sweden. In addition, her most recent album at the time, Nylon, was re-released as a "Euro Edition", including her entry as well as the other three songs from the national final. As the host nation, Greece was prequalified for the 20 May Eurovision final. Performing 16th on the night, the nation placed ninth out if the 24 entries, receiving 128 points.
