Slovenia was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 with the song "Straight into Love", written by Hannah Mancini, Gregor Zemljič, Erik Margan, Matija Rodić, and Marko Primužak, and performed by Hannah herself. The Slovene participating broadcaster, Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTVSLO), internally selected its entry for the contest. Hannah was announced at the Slovenian representative on 1 February 2013, while the song, "Straight into Love", was presented to the public on 14 February 2013.
Slovenia was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 14 May 2013. Performing during the show in position 3, "Straight into Love" 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 Slovenia placed sixteenth (last) out of the 16 participating countries in the semi-final with 8 points.
