Hungary participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song "Unsubstantial Blues" written by Magdi Rúzsa and Imre Mózsik. The song was performed by Magdi Rúzsa, who was selected to represent Hungary at the 2007 contest in Helsinki, Finland through the "Discovery of the Year" category of the 2007 Fonogram Hungarian Music Awards, organised by the Hungarian public broadcaster Magyar Televízió (MTV). In December 2006, MTV announced that they would be returning to the Eurovision Song Contest after a one-year absence following their withdrawal in 2006 due to financial reasons. Six artists competed in the "Discovery of the Year" category of the awards and Magdi Rúzsa was selected as the winner based entirely on a public televote. The Hungarian song, "Unsubstantial Blues", was internally selected and announced on 12 March 2007.
Hungary competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 10 May 2007. Performing during the show in position 22, "Unsubstantial Blues" was announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 12 May. It was later revealed that Hungary placed second out of the 28 participating countries in the semi-final with 224 points. In the final, Hungary performed in position 8 and placed ninth out of the 24 participating countries, scoring 128 points.
