Slovenia was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song "Cvet z juga", written by Andrej Babić, and performed by Alenka Gotar. The Slovene participating broadcaster, Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTVSLO), organised the national final Evrovizijska Melodija 2007 (EMA 2007) in order to select its entry for the contest. 24 entries competed in the national final which consisted of three shows: two semi-finals and a final. The top seven entries were selected to advance from each semi-final based on a public televote. Fourteen entries qualified to compete in the final where the winner was selected over two rounds of public televoting. In the first round, the top two entries were selected. In the second round, "Cvet z juga" performed by Alenka Gotar was selected as the winner entirely by a public televote.

Slovenia competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 10 May 2007. Performing during the show in position 25, "Cvet z juga" was announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 12 May. This marked the first time that Slovenia qualified to the final of the Eurovision Song Contest from a semi-final since the introduction of semi-finals in 2004. It was later revealed that Slovenia placed seventh out of the 28 participating countries in the semi-final with 140 points. In the final, Slovenia performed in position 7 and placed fifteenth out of the 24 participating countries, scoring 66 points.
