Finland was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2002 with the song "Addicted to You", composed by Maki Kolehmainen, with lyrics by Janina Frostell and Tracy Lipp, and performed by Laura. The Finnish participating broadcaster, Yleisradio (Yle), organised the national final Euroviisut 2002 to select its entry for the contest. The broadcaster returned to the contest after a one-year absence following their relegation from 2001 as one of the bottom six entrants in 2000. Yle selected twelve entries to compete in the national final on 26 January 2002 where votes from six regional juries first selected the top six to advance to a second round. In the second round, votes from the public selected "Addicted to You" performed by Laura as the winner with 70,580 votes.
