Sweden was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 with the song "I Can't Go On", written by David Kreuger, Hamed "K-One" Pirouzpanah, and Robin Stjernberg, and performed by Robin Bengtsson. The Swedish participating broadcaster, Sveriges Television (SVT), organised the national final Melodifestivalen 2017 in order to select its entry for the contest. After a six-week-long competition consisting of four heats, a Second Chance round and a final, "I Can't Go On" performed by Robin Bengtsson emerged as the winner after achieving the highest score following the combination of votes from eleven international jury groups and a public vote.
Sweden was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 9 May 2017. Performing as the opening entry for the show in position 1, "I Can't Go On" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 13 May.
