Poland was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 with the song "Czarna dziewczyna", written by Łukasz Lazer, Michał Szymański, and Ivan Komarenko, and performed by Ivan and Delfin. The Polish participating broadcaster, Telewizja Polska (TVP), announced in December 2004 that it would internally select its entry for the 2005 contest. On 29 January 2005, "Czarna dziewczyna" performed by Ivan and Delfin was announced as its entry during the TVP1 programme Stratosfera.
Poland competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 19 May 2005. Performing as the closing entry during the show in position 25, "Czarna dziewczyna" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Poland placed eleventh out of the 25 participating countries in the semi-final with 81 points.
