Ukraine participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 with the song "Wild Dances" written by Ruslana and Oleksandr Ksenofontov. The song was performed by Ruslana, who was internally selected by the Ukrainian broadcaster National Television Company of Ukraine (NTU) to represent Ukraine at the 2004 contest in Istanbul, Turkey. "Dyki tantsi" performed by Ruslana was announced as the Ukrainian entry on 23 January 2004. The song was later retitled as "Wild Dances" and presented to the public on 25 March 2004.
Ukraine competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2004. Performing during the show in position 11, "Wild Dances" was announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 14 May.

In the final, Ukraine performed in position 10 and placed first out of the 24 participating countries, winning the contest with 280 points.
