Slovenia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool, United Kingdom, having internally selected Joker Out to represent the country with the song "Carpe Diem", written by band members Bojan Cvjetićanin [sl], Jan Peteh, Jure Maček, Kris Guštin and Nace Jordan, alongside Žarko Pak.[1][2][3] Joker Out were announced as the Slovenian entrants to the contest on 8 December 2022, whilst their song was presented to the public in a televised presentation show, Misija Liverpool, on 4 February 2023.[4]
Slovenia was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 11 May 2023 and was later selected to perform in position 10. At the end of the show, "Carpe Diem" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and hence qualified to compete in the final, marking Slovenia's first qualification to the final since 2019. It was later revealed that Slovenia placed fifth out of the sixteen participating countries in the semi-final with 103 points. In the final, Slovenia performed in position 24 and placed twenty-first out of the 26 participating countries, scoring a total of 78 points.[5]
An average of 345,000 viewers watched the final in Slovenia, the highest viewing figures recorded since 2015 and the most watched show in Slovenia in 2023. In addition, peak viewing figures reached 895,300 – the highest total ever seen since Slovenia debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1993.[6][7]
