Ukraine participated in Eurovision Song Contest 2011 with the song "Angel" written by Ruslan Kvinta and Maryna Skomorohova. The song was performed by Mika Newton.
The Ukrainian broadcaster National Television Company of Ukraine (NTU) organised a national final in order to select the Ukrainian entry for the 2011 contest in Düsseldorf, Germany. Thirty-five entries competed in the national selection which consisted of nine shows: five heats, three semi-finals and a final. Seventeen entries qualified to compete in the final, held on 26 February 2011, where "Angel" performed by Mika Newton was selected as the winner following the combination of votes from a nine-member jury panel, a public televote and an online vote. Following controversy regarding alleged voting miscalculations, a new final was planned to be held on 3 March 2011 with the top three entries of the initial final competing. The new final was later cancelled after the second and third placed acts both declined to participate, and "Angel" performed by Mika Newton ultimately remained as the Ukrainian entry.
Ukraine was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 12 May 2011. Performing during the show in position 6, "Angel" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 14 May. It was later revealed that Ukraine placed sixth out of the 19 participating countries in the semi-final with 81 points. In the final, Ukraine performed in position 23 and placed fourth out of the 25 participating countries with 159 points.
