Yugoslavia was present at the Eurovision Song Contest 1989, held in Lausanne, Switzerland, and won the competition for the first and only time.
The Yugoslav national final to select their entry, Jugovizija 1989, was held on 4 March 1989 at the Grand Hall of the Serbian National TheatreinNovi Sad, and was hosted by Dina Čolić and Boško Negovanović.
The winning song was chosen, from a selection of 16 songs, by the votes of 8 regional juries. Each TV studio had to choose 1 song to be entered directly into the competition, and most submitted a few more songs from which the remaining 8 songs were chosen.

Riva was the twenty-second and last performer on the night of the Contest, following Germany. Their song "Rock Me" won the contest with a score of 137 points.[1] However, according to author and historian John Kennedy O'ConnorinThe Eurovision Song Contest – The Official History it was a very unexpected win and BBC TV commentator Terry Wogan described it as "the death knell" for the contest.[2]
