Belgium participated at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the song "Me and My Guitar" written by Tom Dice, Jeroen Swinnen and Ashley Hicklin. The song was performed by Tom Dice, who was internally selected by the Flemish broadcaster Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie (VRT) in November 2009 to represent the nation at the 2010 contest in Oslo, Norway. The song, "Me and My Guitar", was presented to the public on 7 March 2010 during the television special Eurosong 2010: een song voor Tom Dice!.
Belgium was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 25 May 2010. Performing during the show in position 10, "Me and My Guitar" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 23 May. This marked the first qualification to the final for Belgium since the introduction of semi-finals in 2004. It was later revealed that Belgium placed first out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final with 167 points. In the final, Belgium performed in position 7 and placed sixth out of the 25 participating countries, scoring 143 points.
