Slovenia was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 with the song "Stay Forever", composed by Simon Gomilšek, with lyrics by Diana Lečnik, and performed by the duo Platin, which consists of Lečnik and Gomilšek. The Slovene participating broadcaster, Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTVSLO), held the national final Evrovizijska Melodija 2004 in order to select its entry for the contest. 32 entries competed in the national final which consisted of five shows: four semi-finals and a final. Entries were selected to advance from the semi-finals based on a public televote and a four-member jury panel. Sixteen entries qualified to compete in the final where the winner was selected over two rounds of voting. In the first round, the top three entries were selected following the combination of votes from a five-member jury panel and a public televote. In the second round, "Stay Forever" performed by Platin was selected as the winner entirely by a public televote.
Slovenia competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2004. Performing during the show in position 16, "Stay Forever" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Slovenia placed twenty-first out of the 22 participating countries in the semi-final with 5 points.
