Ukraine was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 with the song "Show Me Your Love", written by Mikhail Nekrasov, Tina Karol, and Pavlo Shylko, and performed by Karol herself. The Ukrainian participating broadcaster, the National Television Company of Ukraine (NTU), organised the music competition series Ty – Zirka! in order to select its entry for the contest. Twelve contestants competed in the competition which consisted of four shows: three elimination shows, held on 28 January, 11 February and 25 February 2006, and a final, held on 11 March 2006. Three acts qualified to compete in the final, where "I Am Your Queen" performed by Tina Karol was selected as the winner following the combination of votes from a three-member jury panel and a public televote. The song was later retitled as "Show Me Your Love".
Ukraine competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 18 May 2006. Performing during the show in position 15, "Show Me Your Love" was announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 20 May. It was later revealed that Ukraine placed seventh out of the 23 participating countries in the semi-final with 146 points. In the final, Ukraine performed in position 18 and placed seventh out of the 24 participating countries with 145 points.
