Spain was represented in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 with the song "Quédate conmigo", written by Thomas G:son, Tony Sánchez-Ohlsson, and Erik Bernholm, and performed by Pastora Soler. The Spanish participating broadcaster, Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE), selected its entry through a national final, after having previously selected the performer internally. RTVE announced Soler as its representative in December 2011, while the national final Eurovisión: Pastora Soler was organised in order to select the song Soler would perform. Three songs, one selected through an Internet public vote, competed in the televised show where an in-studio jury and a public televote selected "Quédate conmigo" as the winning song.
As a member of the "Big Five", Spain automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Performing in position 19, Spain placed tenth out of the 26 participating countries with 97 points.
