Montenegro participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 with the song "Euro Neuro" written and performed by Rambo Amadeus, who were internally selected by the Montenegrin broadcaster Radio i televizija Crne Gore (RTCG) to represent the nation at the 2012 contest in Baku, Azerbaijan. In November 2011, RTCG announced that they would be returning to the Eurovision Song Contest after a two-year absence following their withdrawal in 2010 due to financial difficulties. Rambo Amadeus was announced as the Montenegrin representative on 12 December 2011, while his song, "Euro Neuro", was presented to the public in a television special on 15 March 2012. The song and its music video garnered international media exposure due to its references to stereotypical views of the Balkan Region and to the European debt crisis.
Montenegro was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 22 May 2012. Performing as the opening entry for the show in position 1, "Euro Neuro" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Montenegro placed fifteenth out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 20 points.
