Hungary was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 with the song "Forogj, világ!", composed by Szabolcs Harmath, with lyrics by Attila Valla, and performed by the band Nox. The Hungarian participating broadcaster, Magyar Televízió (MTV), selected its entry through the national final Eurovíziós Dalfesztivál. The broadcaster returned to the contest after a six-year absence following its withdrawal in 1999. 12 entries competed in the national final where four of the entries proceeded to a second round of voting based entirely on a public televote. In the second round of voting, a five-member jury panel selected "Forogj, világ!" performed by Nox as the winner.
Hungary competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 19 May 2005. Performing during the show in position 17, "Forogj, világ!" was announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 21 May. It was later revealed that Hungary placed fifth out of the 25 participating countries in the semi-final with 167 points. In the final, Hungary performed in position 1 and placed twelfth out of the 24 participating countries, scoring 97 points.
