Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012

Greece was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 with the song "Aphrodisiac", written by Dimitri Stassos, Mikaela Stenström, and Dajana Lööf, and performed by Eleftheria Eleftheriou. The Greek participating broadcaster, the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT), selected its entry through the televised national final Ellinikós Telikós held on 12 March 2012 at the River West shopping mall in Athens. Due to the debt crisis facing Greece at the time, the record label of the entry was expected to take on the costs of recording and producing the candidate songs. Universal Music Greece was the only label to accept these terms and put forth four competing acts for consideration. The winning act was selected using a combination of jury and televoting. Following the national final, Eleftheriou embarked on a promotional campaign visiting Turkey and the Netherlands. Eleftheriou had previously attempted to represent Greece in 2010.

Greece was drawn to appear third in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2012, which was held on 22 May. There, the nation placed fourth with 116 points and qualified for the grand final, held four days later. Greece was randomly selected the 16th position at the grand final allocation draw, performing after Denmark and before Sweden. The entry received 64 points at the grand final from a combined jury and televote, finishing in 17th place.
