Romania was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 with the song "Llámame", written by Andrei Ursu, Cezar Gună, Alexandru Turcu, and Costel Dominteanu, and performed by Ursu himself under his stage name Wrs. The Romanian participating broadcaster, Televiziunea Română (TVR), organised the national final Selecția Națională 2022 in order to select its entry for the contest. The national final consisted of three shows, including two semi-finals and a final. A total of 46 entries were selected and 10 qualifiers ultimately competed in the final on 5 March 2022, where the winner scoring top marks from both a jury panel and a public televote was selected.
Romania was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2022. Performing during the show in position 13, "Llámame" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and hence qualified to compete in the final. In the final, Romania placed 18th with 65 points. It was later revealed that the country placed 9th in the semi-final with 118 points.
