Ireland participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 with the song "If My World Stopped Turning" written by Brian McFadden and Jonathan Shorten. The song was performed by Chris Doran. The Irish entry for the 2004 contest in Istanbul, Turkey was selected through the second season of the music competition series You're a Star, organised by the Irish broadcaster Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ). The competition consisted of 14 shows and concluded with a final, resulting in the selection of "If My World Stopped Turning" performed by Chris Doran as the Irish Eurovision entry after facing a public televote.
As one of ten highest placed finishers in the 2003 contest, Ireland directly qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 15 May 2004. Performing in position 18, Ireland placed twenty-second out of the 24 participating countries with 7 points.
