Cyprus participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 with the song "Why Angels Cry" written by Peter Yiannakis and performed by Annet Artani. The Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation (CyBC) organised the national final A Song for Europe to select the Cypriot entry for the 2006 contest, which took place in Athens, Greece. The selection event saw 20 candidate entries compete over two semi-finals, leading to a 10-participant final round on 22 February 2006. Despite the event experiencing controversy due to a perceived lack of transparency, the results were upheld.
Prior to the contest, Artani toured several European countries to promote the entry. The song competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest on 18 May 2006 in position 9; however, "Why Angels Cry" was not announced among the top 10 entries and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that the entry placed 15th out of the 23 participating countries in the semi-final, with 57 points.
