Turkey was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 with the song "Love Me Back" written and performed by Can Bonomo. The Turkish participating broadcaster, Türkiye Radyo ve Televizyon Kurumu (TRT), internally selected its entry for the contest.
Turkey was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 26 May 2012. Performing during the show in position 13, "Love Me Back" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 14 May. It was later revealed that Turkey placed 5th out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 80 points. In the final, Turkey performed in position 18 and placed 7th out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 112 points.
As of 2026, this was the last Turkish entry in the contest, before TRT opted out of participating the following year. The absence has continued in every edition since.
