Serbia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with the song "Goodbye (Shelter)" written by Ivana Peters. The song was performed by Sanja Vučić Zaa, who was internally selected by the Serbian national broadcaster, Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) to represent Serbia in the 2016 contest in Stockholm, Sweden. Vučić was announced as the Serbian representative on 5 March 2016, while the song, "Goodbye (Shelter)", was presented on 12 March 2016 during a show titled Pesma Srbije za Evropu ("Serbia's song for Europe").
