Azerbaijan was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 with the song "When the Music Dies", written by Anders Bagge, Sandra Bjurman, Stefan Örn, and Johan Kronlund, and performed by Sabina Babayeva. The Azerbaijani participant broadcaster, İctimai Televiziya (İTV), selected its performer through the competition Milli Seçim Turu 2012 and, subsequently, the song internally once the national final was over. In addition, İTV was also the host broadcaster and staged the event at the Baku Crystal Hall in Baku, after winning the previous edition with the song "Running Scared" performed by Ell and Nikki.
Following eight heats, a semi-final and a final on 12 February 2012, a seven-member jury selected Sabina Babayeva as the Azerbaijani performer for Eurovision. The song "When the Music Dies" was internally selected and presented to the public on 17 March.
As the host country, Azerbaijan qualified to compete directly in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Performing in position 13 during the final, Azerbaijan placed fourth out of the 26 participating countries with 261 points.
