Bulgaria was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the song "Angel si ti", written by Miroslav Kostadinov, Mihail Mihailov, and Gordon Davis, and performed by Kostadinov himself under his stage name Miro. The Bulgarian participating broadcaster, Bulgarian National Television (BNT), announced in October 2009 that it had selected Miro to compete at the contest. The broadcaster organised the national final Bŭlgarskata pesen v „Evroviziya 2010” in order to select the song that Miro competed with. Five songs were selected to participate in the national final, held on 28 February 2010, where "Angel si ti" emerged as the winning song with 48.05% of the public televote.
Bulgaria 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 13, "Angel si ti" 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 Bulgaria placed fifteenth out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final with 19 points.
