Slovenia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with the song "Here for You" written by Raay, Marjetka Vovk and Charlie Mason. The song was performed by the duo Maraaya, which consists of Raay and Marjetka Vovk. Slovenian broadcaster Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTV Slovenija) organised the national final EMA 2015 in order to select the Slovenian entry for the 2015 contest in Vienna, Austria. Eight entries competed in the national final where the winner was selected over two rounds of voting. In the first round, the top two entries were selected by a three-member jury panel. In the second round, "Here for You" performed by Maraaya was selected as the winner entirely by a public televote.

Slovenia was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 21 May 2015. Performing during the show in position 16, "Here for You" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 23 May. It was later revealed that Slovenia placed fifth out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final with 92 points. In the final, Slovenia performed in position 1 and placed fourteenth out of the 27 participating countries, scoring 39 points.
