Cyprus was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1999 with the song "Tha 'nai erotas" (Θα'ναι έρωτας), composed by Giorgos Kallis, with lyrics by Andreas Karanikolas, and performed by Marlain Angelidou. The Cypriot participating broadcaster, the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC), selected its entry through a national final.
Nine songs competed in the national final, held on 9 February 1999, where a panel of high-profile media personalities selected the winning song. Marlain Angelidou with the song "Tha 'nai erotas" received the most votes and was selected to represent Cyprus in the contest. Angelidou performed 14th at the international contest and at the close of the voting process, finished in 22nd place, receiving just two points from the United Kingdom. The result was seen as unexpected as Cyprus had been a favourite to win the contest in betting odds.
