Portugal was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 with the song "Quero ser tua" written by Emanuel, and performed by Suzy. In November 2013, the Portuguese participating broadcaster, Rádio e Televisão de Portugal (RTP), announced that they would be returning to the Eurovision Song Contest after a one-year absence following their withdrawal in 2013 due to financial reasons. RTP organised the national final Festival da Canção 2014 in order to select its entry for the contest. After a semi-final and a final which took place in March 2014, "Quero ser tua" performed by Suzy emerged as the winner after gaining 41.56% of the public televote.
Portugal was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 6 May 2014. Performing during the show in position 13, "Quero ser tua" 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 Portugal placed eleventh out of the 16 participating countries in the semi-final with 39 points.
