Norway participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 with the song "I Feed You My Love" written by Karin Park, Robin Lynch and Niklas Olovson. The song was performed by Margaret Berger. The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) organised the national final Melodi Grand Prix 2013 in order to select the Norwegian entry for the 2013 contest in Malmö, Sweden. 21 entries competed in the national final that consisted of three semi-finals and a final. Ten entries ultimately qualified to compete in the final on 9 February 2013 where the winner was determined over two rounds of voting. In the first round of voting, a public televote exclusively selected the top four entries to advance to the competition's second round—the Gold Final. In the second round of voting, "I Feed You My Love" performed by Margaret Berger was selected as the winner following the combination of votes from three regional jury groups and a public vote.
Norway was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 16 May 2013. Performing during the show in position 13, "I Feed You My Love" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 18 May. It was later revealed that Norway placed third out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final with 120 points. In the final, Norway performed in position 24 and placed fourth out of the 26 participating countries with 191 points.
