Hungary participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan. The Hungarian entry was selected through A Dal (which means "The Song"), consisting of two semi-finals and a final, organised by the Hungarian broadcaster M1. Compact Disco represented Hungary with the song "Sound of Our Hearts", which qualified from the first semi-final and went on to place 24th in the final, scoring 19 points.

On 1 December 2011, MTV started the call for songs for their national selection. Entries could be submitted until 30 December 2011. The participants of the semi-finals were chosen by a pre-jury out of all entries that have been submitted. Hungarian and foreign composers were allowed to send entries. The names of the 20 acts and songs that were selected for the semi-finals were revealed on 10 January 2012.

In two semi-finals, to be broadcast live on m1 and Duna TV World, four songs each will qualify for the national final: three will be chosen by a professional jury and another one by televoting. In the final, televoting will select four super-finalists, and then the winner will be determined by the expert jury.
