Croatia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 with the song "Crazy" written by Branimir Mihaljević and Franka Batelić. The song was performed by Franka, which is the artistic name of singer Franka Batelić who was selected internally by the Croatian broadcaster Croatian Radiotelevision (HRT) on 13 February 2018 to represent Croatia at the 2018 contest in Lisbon, Portugal. Her song "Crazy" was presented to the public on 6 March 2018.
Croatia was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 8 May 2018. Performing during the show in position 12, "Crazy" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Croatia placed seventeenth out of the 19 participating countries in the semi-final with 63 points.
