Macedonia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with the song "Autumn Leaves", written by Joacim Persson. The song was performed by Daniel Kajmakoski. In November 2014, Macedonian broadcaster Macedonian Radio Television (MRT) organised the Skopje Festival 2014 in order to select the Macedonian entry for the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, Austria. Daniel Kajmakoski and the song "Lisja esenski" emerged as the winner. The song competed in Macedonia's national final in Macedonian with lyrics by Aleksandar Mitevski and Kajmakoski himself. At the Eurovision Song Contest, however, Kajmakoski opted to perform the song in English under the title "Autumn Leaves". In the first of the Eurovision semi-finals, Macedonia failed to qualify to the final, placing fifteenth out of the 16 participating countries with 28 points.

Prior to the 2015 Contest, Macedonia had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest fourteen times since its first entry in 1998. Its best placing in the contest was twelfth, which it achieved in 2006 with the song "Ninanajna" performed by Elena Risteska. Following a string of non-qualifications from the semi-finals between 2008 and 2011, MRT opted to change their entry selection strategy from using the Skopje Fest national final to an internal selection. In 2012, the internal selection of Kaliopi (performing the song "Crno i belo") resulted in Macedonia qualifying to the final and placing 13th. However, the subsequent internal selections of Esma Redžepova and Vlatko Lozanoski in 2013 and Tijana Dapčević in 2014 both failed to take Macedonia to the final.
