Romania was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 with the song "I Admit", composed by George Popa, with lyrics by Irina Gligor, and performed by Sanda. The Romanian participating broadcaster, Televiziunea Română (TVR), organised the national final Selecția Națională 2004 in order to select its entry for the contest. The national final consisted of three shows: two semi-finals on 28 February and 6 March 2004, respectively, and a final on 13 March 2004. A total of twenty-three entries were selected and six were selected to advance to the final from each semi-final. The twelve qualifiers competed in the final where "I Admit" performed by Sanda was selected as the winner after scoring top marks from a seven-member jury panel and a public televote.
As one of ten highest placed finishers in the 2003 contest Romania directly qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 15 May 2004. Performing in position 23, Romania placed eighteenth out of the 24 participating countries with 18 points.
