Greece participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 with the song "Better Love" written by Katerine Duska, Leon of Athens, David Sneddon and Phil Cook. The song was performed by Duska, who was internally selected by the Greek broadcaster Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) to represent Greece at the 2019 contest in Tel Aviv, Israel. She was announced as the Greek representative on 14 February 2019, while her song "Better Love" was presented on 6 March 2019.
To promote the entry, a music video for the song was created, and Duska appeared at events in Amsterdam and Madrid. Greece was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 14 May 2019. Performing during the show in position 16, "Better Love" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 18 May. It was later revealed that Greece placed fifth out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final with 185 points. In the final, Greece performed in position 13 and placed twenty-first out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 74 points.
