Hungary participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 with the song "What About My Dreams?" written by Viktor Rakonczai, Gergő Rácz, Johnny K. Palmer and Péter Geszti. The song was performed by Kati Wolf. Songwriters Viktor Rakonczai and Gergő Rácz represented Hungary in the Eurovision Song Contest 1997 as part of the boy band V.I.P., placing twelfth in the competition with the song "Miért kell, hogy elmenj?". In December 2010, the Hungarian public broadcaster Magyar Televízió (MTV) announced that they would be returning to the Eurovision Song Contest after a one-year absence following their withdrawal in 2010 due to financial difficulties. The Hungarian entry for the 2011 contest in Düsseldorf, Germany was selected internally by MTV, and "What About My Dreams?" performed by Kati Wolf was announced as the Hungarian entry on 9 March 2011.

Hungary was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 10 May 2011. Performing during the show in position 15, "What About My Dreams? was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 14 May. It was later revealed that Hungary placed seventh out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 72 points. In the final, Hungary performed in position 5 and placed twenty-second out of the 25 participating countries, scoring 53 points.
