Greece was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song "Yassou Maria", written by Alex Papaconstantinou, Marcus Englöf, and Markus Sepehrmanesh, and performed by Sarbel. The Greek participating broadcaster, Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT), organised the national final Eurovision 2007 to select its entry for the contest. The event, which took place on 28 February 2007, saw three acts—Sarbel, Tamta, and Christos Dantis—compete to be the Greek representative.
Following the selection of "Yassou Maria", a music video for the song was released and Sarbel embarked on an international promotional tour for the entry to Russia, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Sweden and Romania. As Greece had placed highly at the previous year's contest, it automatically qualified for the final at this year's contest. Greece appeared tenth out of the 24 countries competing in the final and placed seventh with 139 points.
