Slovenia has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 28 times since its debut in 1993, having hosted a qualification round (Kvalifikacija za Millstreet) in Ljubljana for seven countries due to the influx of new nations wishing to join the Eurovision Song Contest. Having only missed the event twice in 1994 and 2000 due to the relegation rule after a poor average score in the 1990s, Slovenia’s best result is seventh position achieved on two occasions; in 1995 with “Prisluhni mi” performed by Darja Švajger and in 2001 with Nuša Derenda and “Energy”. Since the introduction of the semi-finals in 2004, Slovenia has qualified for the final on seven occasions. As of 2023, Slovenia has not made it to the top ten since their seventh place finish in 2001, only making it to the thirteenth position in 2002 and 2011.

Last Pizza Slice, better known by the acronym LPS, is a Slovenian band formed in December 2018 in the music room of the Grammar School Celje-Center.

The Slovenian public broadcaster Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTVSLO) announced on 26 November 2021 that LPS had been selected as one of 24 entrants to have a chance to represent Slovenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022. The band won the third duel of the contest, beating out Neli Jerot’s song “Magnum opus” to move onto the final round. LPS also won the final, and as a result, represented Slovenia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 with “Disko”. At Eurovision, LPS was eliminated in the first semi-final after finishing in last place.
