Moldova participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 with the song "My Lucky Day" written by Philipp Kirkorov and John Ballard. The song was performed by the group DoReDoS. Songwriter Philipp Kirkorov represented Russia in the Eurovision Song Contest 1995 with the song "Kolybelnaya dlya vulkana" where he placed seventeenth. The Moldovan broadcaster TeleRadio-Moldova (TRM) organised the national final O melodie pentru Europa 2018 in order to select the Moldovan entry for the 2018 contest in Lisbon, Portugal. 27 entries competed to represent Moldova in Lisbon, with 16 being shortlisted to participate in the televised national final which took place on 24 February 2018 after auditioning in front of a jury panel. "My Lucky Day" performed by DoReDoS emerged as the winner after gaining the most points following the combination of votes from a jury panel and a public televote.
Moldova was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 10 May 2018. Performing during the show in position 7, "My Lucky Day" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 14 May. It was later revealed that Moldova placed third out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 235 points. In the final, Moldova performed in position 19 and placed tenth out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 209 points.
