Four of the 27 entries were from Slovene artists.
Slovenia's best position at the contest is 7th place, which they have achieved twice: in 1995 and in 2001. Additionally, Slovenia's worst position at the contest was last place, which they received in the 2013 contest with Hannah Mancini. However, Slovenia has never received a Nul Point since its involvement in Eurovision. A Nul point is when an entry does not receive a single point.
Since the introduction of the semi-final round in 2004, Slovenia has failed to reach the final on 10 occasions.
The Slovene national final to select their entry is EMA, broadcast, along with Eurovision, by Radiotelevizija Slovenija.
