Ukraine participated in Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song "Shady Lady" written by Karen Kavaleryan, Philip Kirkorov and Dimitris Kontopoulos. The song was performed by Ani Lorak, who was internally selected in December 2007 by the Ukrainian broadcaster National Television Company of Ukraine (NTU) to represent Ukraine at the 2008 contest in Belgrade, Serbia. Her song was selected through a national final held on 23 February 2008. Five songs competed in the national selection and "Shady Lady" was selected as the winning song following the combination of votes from a four-member jury panel and a public televote.
Ukraine was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 22 May 2008. Performing during the show in position 4, "Shady Lady" was announced among the 10 qualifying entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 24 May. It was later revealed that Ukraine placed first out of the 19 participating countries in the semi-final with 152 points. In the final, Ukraine performed in position 18 and placed second out of the 25 participating countries with 230 points.
