The Netherlands Antilles was represented at the OTI Festival 1985 with the song "Adiós, mi amor", written by Erroll Colina, and performed by Melania van der Veen. The Netherlands Antillean participating broadcaster, Antilliaanse Televisie Maatschappij (ATM), selected its entry through a televised national final. The song, that was performed in position 11, was not among the top-three places revealed.
This was the last time that Aruba was part of the Netherlands Antilles, since it gained its separate status in 1986, and TeleAruba became independent from ATM. TeleAruba participated in the festival representing Aruba in 1989 and in 1991.
