Cyprus was represented in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden, with the song "Liar", composed by Dimitris Kontopoulos, with lyrics by Elke Tiel, and performed by Silia Kapsis. The Cypriot participating broadcaster Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC) originally intended to select its entrant through the fifth season of the reality show Fame Story, produced in collaboration with the Greek channel Star. However, this plan was later cancelled after the Greek broadcaster ERT raised objections to the Cypriot selection process being aired in Greece by another broadcaster, and CyBC ultimately reverted to an internal selection for its entrant.
Cyprus was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 7 May 2024 and was later selected to perform in position 1. At the end of the show, "Liar" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and hence qualified to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Cyprus placed sixth out of the fifteen participating countries in the semi-final with 67 points. In the final, Cyprus performed in position 20 and placed fifteenth out of the 25 performing countries, scoring a total of 78 points.
