Finland participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with the song "Aina mun pitää", written and performed by punk band Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät. In February 2015, Finnish broadcaster Yle organised the national final Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2015 in order to select the Finnish entry for the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, Austria. "Aina mun pitää" performed by Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät emerged as the winner. In the lead up to the Eurovision Song Contest, Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät garnered media interest because the band is composed of persons with developmental disabilities. In the first of the Eurovision semi-finals, Finland failed to qualify to the final, placing sixteenth and last out of the 16 participating countries with 13 points.

Prior to the 2015 Contest, Finland had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest forty-eight times since its first entry in 1961. Finland has won the contest once in 2006 with the song "Hard Rock Hallelujah" performed by Lordi. In 2014, Finland scored their best position in the contest since their victory in 2006, qualifying to the final and finishing in 11th place with the song "Something Better" performed by Softengine.

The Finnish broadcaster for the 2015 Contest, who broadcast the event in Finland and organised the selection process for its entry, was Yle. Finland's entries for the Eurovision Song Contest have been selected through national final competitions that have varied in format over the years. Between 1961 and 2011, a selection show that was often titled Euroviisukarsinta highlighted that the purpose of the program was to select a song for Eurovision. However, since 2012, the broadcaster has organised the selection show Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK), which focuses on showcasing new music with the winning song being selected as the Finnish Contest entry for that year. The Finnish broadcaster opted to continue selecting their entry through UMK for 2015.
