Spain was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1995 with the song "Vuelve conmigo", written by José María Purón [es], and performed by Anabel Conde. The Spanish participating broadcaster, Televisión Española (TVE), internally selected its entry for the contest. The song, performed in position 9, placed second out of twenty-three competing entries with 119 points.

Before Eurovision

Televisión Española (TVE) internally selected "Vuelve conmigo" performed by Anabel Conde as its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 1995 among 32 demos. The song was written by José María Purón [es]. The song, songwriter, and performer were presented on 6 April 1995.[1] The preview music video that was distributed to the other participating broadcasters was filmed in Madrid, with the waterside scenes filmed on location at Juan Carlos I Park featuring the sculpture Dedos, the Spanish replica of La mano.

At Eurovision

On 13 May 1995, the Eurovision Song Contest was held at the Point Theatre in Dublin hosted by Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ), and broadcast live throughout the continent. Conde performed "Vuelve conmigo" 9th on the evening, following Austria and preceding Turkey. She was accompanied on stage by Andrea Bronston, Doris Cales, and Sol Pilas [es] as backing singers, and by Emilio Cuervo and José María Guzmán[a] as backing percussionists and singers.[2] She was dressed by Javier Larrainzar and the staging and choreography was in charge of Leonor Parrilli. Eduardo Leiva [sv] conducted the event's orchestra performance of the Spanish entry.[3] At the close of the voting "Vuelve conmigo" had received 119 points, placing 2nd of 23 and giving Spain's best result since 1979.[4]

TVE broadcast the contest in Spain on La Primera, and abroad on TVE Internacional, with commentary by José Luis Uribarri.[5] Before the event, TVE aired a talk show hosted by Concha Galán [es] introducing the Spanish jury, which continued after the contest commenting on the results.[6]
