Belgium was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1973 with the song "Baby, Baby", composed by Ignace Baert, with lyrics by Erik Marijsse, and performed by Nicole and Hugo. The Belgian participating broadcaster, Flemish Belgische Radio- en Televisieomroep (BRT), selected its entry through a national final. Nicole and Hugo had won the 1971 national final with the song "Goeiemorgen, morgen", but days before the contest Nicole had fallen ill and was unable to travel to host city Dublin, so Jacques Raymond and Lily Castel had been drafted in as last-minute replacements.
