Poland participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with the song "In the Name of Love", written by Kuba Raczyński and Monika Kuszyńska. The song was performed by Monika Kuszyńska, who was selected by Polish broadcaster Telewizja Polska (TVP) to represent the nation at the 2015 contest in Vienna, Austria. The selection of Kuszyńska along with her song "In the Name of Love" were presented to the public in March 2015. In the second of the Eurovision semi-finals "In the Name of Love" placed eighth out of the 17 participating countries, securing its place among the 27 other songs in the final. In Poland's eighteenth Eurovision appearance on 23 May, "In the Name of Love" finished in twenty-third place, receiving 10 points.
Prior to the 2015 Contest, Poland had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest seventeen times since its first entry in 1994. Its highest placement in the contest, to this point, has been second place, which the nation achieved with its debut entry in 1994 with the song "To nie ja!" performed by Edyta Górniak. Poland has only, thus far, reached the top ten on one other occasion, when Ich Troje performing the song "Keine Grenzen – Żadnych granic" finished seventh in 2003. Between 2005 and 2011, Poland failed to qualify from the semi-final round six out of seven years with only their 2008 entry, "For Life" performed by Isis Gee, managing to take the nation to the final during that period. After once again failing to qualify to the final in 2011, the country withdrew from the contest during 2012 and 2013. Poland returned in 2014 with Donatan and Cleo and the song "My Słowianie - We Are Slavic", which qualified for the final, and finished in 14th place.
