North Macedonia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with the song "Here I Stand" performed by Vasil and written by Vasil along with Borče Kuzmanovski and Davor Jordanovski. Vasil was internally selected by North Macedonia's public broadcaster Macedonian Radio Television (MRT) to represent North Macedonia at the 2021 contest in Rotterdam, Netherlands, after he was due to compete in the 2020 contest with "You" before the 2020 event's cancellation. Vasil's appointment as the Macedonian representative was announced on 20 January 2021, while his song, "Here I Stand", was presented to the public on 11 March 2021.
North Macedonia was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 18 May 2021. Performing during the show in position 6, "Here I Stand" 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 North Macedonia placed fifteenth out of the 16 participating countries in the semi-final with 23 points.
