Romania was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 with the song "Miracle" written by Ovi, Phillip Halloun, Frida Amundsen and Beyond51. The song was performed by Paula Seling and Ovi, both of them which had previously represented Romania in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2010 where they placed third in the final with the song "Playing with Fire". The Romanian broadcaster Televiziunea Română (TVR) organised the national final Selecția Națională 2014 in order to select the Romanian entry for the 2014 contest in Copenhagen, Denmark. Twelve entries were selected to compete in the national final on 1 March 2014 where "Miracle" performed by Paula Seling and Ovi was selected as the winner after scoring top marks from a five-member jury panel and a public televote.

Romania was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 8 May 2014. Performing as the closing entry during the show in position 15, "Miracle" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 10 May. It was later revealed that Romania placed second out of the 15 participating countries in the semi-final with 125 points. In the final, Romania performed in position 6 and placed twelfth out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 72 points.
