Poland was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2001 with the song song "2 Long", composed by Robert Chojnacki, with lyrics by John Porter, and performed by Piasek. The Polish participating broadcaster, Telewizja Polska (TVP), internally selected its entry for the contest. TVP returned to the contest after an enforced one-year absence as one of the seven lowest-ranked entrants in the 1999 contest. The broadcaster announced the song "Z kimś takim" performed by Piasek as its entry on 2 March 2001. The song was later translated for Eurovision from the original Polish-language lyrics written by Piasek himself to new English-language lyrics by John Porter and it was titled "2 Long".
Poland competed in the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2001. Performing during the show in position 18, Poland placed twentieth out of the 23 participating countries, scoring 11 points.
