Czech Republic made its inaugural Eurovision Song Contest appearance at Eurovision 2007 as represented by Kabát with the song "Malá dáma": the result was a 28th-place finish in the semi-final.

"Malá dáma" was selected as the Czech Republic's representative for Eurovision 2007 at the Eurosong 2007 broadcast by Česká televize (ČT) on March 10, 2007 drawing the highest number of votes from a field of nine entrants, the results being as follows:

Having announced in April 2006 that they would sponsor a representative of Czech Republic at Eurovision 2007, ČT had assembled a list of ten acts to participate in Czech Republic's Eurosong 2007 by January 2007, the official announcement of the participants in Czech Republic's Eurosong 2007 being made February 14, 2007.

In addition to the nine acts who would in fact compete in Czech Republic's Eurosong 2007, the original list also featured Helena Vondráčková who was to compete with the song "Samba". The original list for Czech Republic's Eurosong 2007 also announced the songs to be performed by L.B.P and Kabát to be respectively "So Real" and "Burlaci"; a further announcement was made the following day with these song selections amended to "Story of Life" (L.B.P) and "Malá dáma" (Kabát).

ČT stated that seven of these ten acts had been recruited for Czech Republic's Eurovision 2007 on the basis of having scored recent chart success: this category included Kabát whose 2006 album Corrida was the bestselling album in the Czech Republic for that year despite not being released til December 2006 (both "Burlaci", the original Kabát selection for Czech Republic's Eurosong 2007, and the eventual entrant "Malá dáma" were featured on Corrida).

The remaining three acts had been invited to participate in Czech Republic's Eurosong 2007 at the discretion of a five-member panel of station representatives assembled by ČT: this category included veteran vocalist Helena Vondráčková who had been responsible for Czechoslovakia's highest profile music festival victory at the Intervision Song Contest in 1977 and whose was the only name ČT would confirm as participant in Czech Republic's Eurosong 2007 prior to the official February 14, 2007 announcement.
