Slovenia participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the song "Narodnozabavni rock" written by Marino Legovič and Leon Oblak. The song was performed by the bands Ansambel Žlindra and Kalamari. Slovenian broadcaster Radiotelevizija Slovenija (RTV Slovenija) organised the national final EMA 2010 in order to select the Slovenian entry for the 2010 contest in Oslo, Norway. 21 entries competed in the national final which consisted of two shows: a semi-final and a final. Fourteen of the entries competed in the semi-final and the top seven entries were selected to advance alongside seven pre-qualified songs based on a public televote. Fourteen entries qualified to compete in the final where "Narodnozabavni rock" performed by Ansambel Žlindra and Kalamari was selected as the winner entirely by a public televote.
Slovenia was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 27 May 2010. Performing during the show in position 11, "Narodnozabavni rock" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Slovenia placed sixteenth out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final with 6 points.
