Azerbaijan participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the song "Drip Drop" written by Anders Bagge, Stefan Örn and Sandra Bjurman. The song was performed by Safura. The Azerbaijani Eurovision entrant for the 2010 contest in Oslo, Norway was selected through Land of Fire 2010, organised by the Azerbaijani broadcaster İctimai Television (İTV). Following a semi-final and a final on 2 February and 2 March 2010, respectively, a seven-member jury selected Safura as the winner. The song "Drip Drop" was internally selected and presented to the public on 18 March.

Azerbaijan was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 27 May 2010. Performing during the show in position 7, "Drip Drop" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 29 May. It was later revealed that Azerbaijan placed second out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final with 113 points. In the final, Azerbaijan performed in position 1 and placed fifth out of the 25 participating countries, scoring 145 points.
