Spain was represented in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, Italy, with the song "SloMo", written by Leroy Sanchez, Keith Harris, Ibere Fortes, Maggie Szabo, and Arjen Thonen, and performed by Chanel. The Spanish participating broadcaster Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE), together with the Generalitat Valenciana, organised Benidorm Fest in order to select its entry for the 2022 contest. Benidorm Fest consisted of two semi-finals on 26 and 27 January and the final on 29 January 2022. A total of thirteen artists and songs competed, and the winner was determined by a combination of votes from an expert jury, a demoscopic panel and a televote.

As part of the "Big Five", Spain directly qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Performing during the show in position 10,[1] "SloMo" eventually finished in third place with 459 points. Chanel became the highest scoring Spanish Eurovision entrant and scored Spain its best result since 1995.
