Andorra was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song "Casanova", written by Jordi Cubino, and performed by Gisela. The Andorran participating broadcaster, Ràdio i Televisió d'Andorra (RTVA), internally selected its entry for the contest. The song, "Casanova", was presented to the public on 26 February 2008.
Andorra was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 20 May 2008. Performing during the show in position 12, "Casanova" was not announced among the 10 qualifying entries of the first semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Andorra placed sixteenth out of the 19 participating countries in the semi-final with 22 points.
