Poland’s entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 in Athens was Follow my Heart, sung by Ich Troje. As Poland's 2005 entry did not make it to the final, the song had to compete in the semi-final where it placed 11th, thus not advancing to the final either.

It was the second time the group represented Poland, following their 7th place in 2003 in Riga. This time the group was joined on stage by German dance music producer Olaf Jeglitza a.k.a. Real McCoy who enjoyed a couple of massive dance hits in the mid 1990s.

The Polish preselection was televised live. The result was determined by combining the scores awarded by a professional jury and viewers, who could express their preferences by means of televoting. Scores were awarded in a way similar to the Eurovision format. Regardless of the actual ratios of votes received, the song most favored by jury or televoters respectively was given 12 points, the second favorite 10, and the following songs were graded from 8 to 1. Due to the number of songs in the contest, it meant that the four songs least favored by either jury or televoters got nul points from them (see table below for details). Due to the possibility of the tie, it was determined that the televoting results have precedence over jury grades, which was actually the case and granted Ich Troje the ESC ticket.

The whole event did not attract many established Polish artists, with Brathanki being the only one other than Ich Troje. Denzel also enjoyed some popularity in Poland at some time, but the rest of the performers (including also non-Polish speaking foreign artists) was rather hoping to launch their career there.

Ich Troje was created in 1997 by songwriter Michał Wiśniewski and composer Jacek Łągwa. The group's name can be translated as "the three of them", as it was originally composed of Wiśniewski, Łągwa and a third female singer, which alternated through the years. Ich Troje is perhaps one of the most popular musical ensemble in Poland over the recent years, even though they are frequently scrutinized by professional music critics. In the eliminations, the jury composed of some of the aforementioned critics and seasoned performers (chaired by stalwart Maryla Rodowicz) reflected that sentiment by awarding Ich Troje relatively low scores. After the televoting scores were announced, the members of the jury barely hid or even openly expressed their dissatisfaction with the result.
