The Netherlands was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song "On Top of the World", written by Tjeerd Oosterhuis, Martin Gijzemijter, and Maarten ten Hove, and performed by Edsilia Rombley. The Dutch participating broadcaster, Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS), internally selected its entry for the contest. Rombley had already represented the Netherlands in 1998 placing third with the song "Hemel en aarde". Rombley's appointment was announced on 16 December 2006. Three potential songs were presented to the public on 11 February 2007 during the special programme Mooi! Weer het Nationaal Songfestival where the selected song "Nooit meer zonder jou" was announced. The song was later translated from Dutch to English for the Eurovision Song Contest and was titled "On Top of the World".

The Netherlands competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 10 May 2007. Performing during the show in position 10, "On Top of the World" 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 the Netherlands placed twenty-first out of the 28 participating countries in the semi-final with 38 points.
