The United Kingdom chose their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 on the BBC programme Eurovision: Making Your Mind Up. The fourth and final edition of Making Your Mind Up took place on Saturday 17 March 2007 on BBC One. The main show aired at 19.30 GMT and the results showed at 21.30 GMT.

The six initial acts were reduced to two after a public vote. The two remaining acts participated in a final sing-off - and a final public vote decided the winner of the competition which was Scooch with their song "Flying the Flag (for You)". The United Kingdom finished in 22nd place with 19 points, they did, however, receive the maximum award of 12 points from Malta. This is the first time since Jessica Garlick in 2002, that the UK received 12 points from a country.

After the sing-off and final public vote, Cyndi and Scooch returned to the stage for the final result. After several moments, Terry Wogan announced the winner to be Cyndi while simultaneously, co-host Fearne Cotton revealed the winner to be Scooch. Wogan's announcement was louder than Cotton's, leading many people to believe Cyndi had won the sing-off. After several seconds of confusion, it was finally confirmed that Scooch were the winners. The BBC later issued a written apology, blaming the blunder on "live TV".

Before the six acts were officially announced by the BBC on 28 February 2007, a number of rumours circulated about who would be entering a bid in Eurovision: Making Your Mind Up 2007. Such rumours included:

Justin Hawkins and Beverlei Brown replaced The Puppini Sisters who had been earlier approached by the BBC, but whose submitted material, "And She Sang" and "Don't Call Again", were not considered suitable for the competition.
