Background

Main article: Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Eurovision Song Contest

Prior to the 2001 contest, Bosnia and Herzegovina had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest six times since its first entry in

Béatrice. Bosnia and Herzegovina's least successful result has been 22nd place, which they have achieved in 1996. The Bosnian national broadcaster, Public Broadcasting Service of Bosnia and Herzegovina (PBSBiH), broadcasts the event within Bosnia and Herzegovina and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. From 1994 to 1997, PBSBiH selected the Bosnian artist through an internal selection process, while a national final was set up to choose the song. In 1999
, the broadcaster selected the Bosnian entry through a national final that featured several artists and songs, a procedure that was continued for their 2001 entry.
