Greece participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, which was held in Athens, Greece following the nation's win at the previous year's contest. The Greek national broadcaster Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) internally selected Anna Vissi to represent the country. Her song "Everything" was determined on 14 March 2006 during a four-song national final titled Feel the Party. "Everything" was composed by Nikos Karvelas and written by Vissi.
To promote the entry, Vissi made appearances across Europe in countries that take part in the contest, including events in Belgium, Greece, Russia, Malta, Cyprus, Albania, Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, and Sweden. In addition, her most recent album at the time, Nylon, was re-released as a "Euro Edition", including her entry as well as the other three songs from the national final. As the host nation, Greece was prequalified for the 20 May Eurovision final. Performing 16th on the night, the nation placed ninth out if the 24 entries, receiving 128 points.
