Bulgaria participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with the song "Growing Up Is Getting Old" written by Victoria Georgieva, Maya Nalani, Helena Larsson and Oliver Björkvall. The song was performed by Victoria, which is the mononym of singer Victoria Georgieva. On 21 March 2020, the Bulgarian broadcaster Bulgarian National Television (BNT) announced that Victoria had been selected to compete at the 2021 contest in Rotterdam, Netherlands, after she was due to compete in the 2020 contest with "Tears Getting Sober" before the 2020 event's cancellation. The song that Victoria competed with, "Growing Up Is Getting Old", was also internally selected and was presented to the public during a special concert on 10 March 2021.
Bulgaria was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 20 May 2021. Performing during the show in position 13, "Growing Up Is Getting Old" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 22 May. It was later revealed that Bulgaria placed third out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final with 250 points. In the final, Bulgaria performed in position 17 and placed eleventh out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 170 points.
