Slovenia was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 with the song "Mr Nobody", composed by Matjaž Vlašić, with lyrics by Urša Vlašić, and performed by Anžej Dežan. The Slovene participating broadcaster, Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTVSLO), organised the national final Evrovizijska Melodija 2006 in order to select its entry for the contest. Fourteen entries competed in the national final where "Plan B" performed by Anžej Dežan was selected following the combination of votes from a five-member jury panel and a public televote. The song was later translated from Slovene to English for Eurovision and was titled "Mr Nobody".
Slovenia competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 18 May 2006. Performing during the show in position 3, "Mr Nobody" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Slovenia placed sixteenth out of the 23 participating countries in the semi-final with 49 points.
