Andorra was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 with the song "Jugarem a estimar-nos", written by Jofre Bardagí, and performed by Marta Roure. The Andorran participating broadcaster, Ràdio i Televisió d'Andorra (RTVA), organised the national final 12 Punts in order to select its entry for the contest. This was the first-ever entry from Andorra in the Eurovision Song Contest, and the first-ever entry performed in Catalan in the contest.
The national final took place over four stages and nine televised shows, resulting in the selection of Marta Roure as the winning artist and "Jugarem a estimar-nos" as the winning song during the final on 15 March 2004.
Andorra competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2004. Performing during the show in position 6, "Jugarem a estimar-nos" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Andorra placed eighteenth out of the 22 participating countries in the semi-final with 12 points.
