Its 16th-place finish in the semi-final marked its worst placing at the contest and led to its absence from the final for the first time since 2000, when it did not send an entry.

It was replaced firstly with the interim Dimosia Tileorasi (DT) and then later by the New Hellenic Radio, Internet and Television (NERIT) broadcaster,[2][3][4][5] before reverting to the ERT name by the new government in June 2015.

[12][13] The national final was watched by 833,000 viewers in Greece with a market share of 18.3%, making it the highest rated show of that day.

[14] On 18 October 2024, ERT opened a submission period where artists and composers were able to submit their entries for consideration by the broadcaster by 10 November 2024.

[17] The competing entries were revealed on 10 January 2025 during the ERT1 show Proian se eidon; Salina Gavala and Tsiak were disqualified before the scheduled announcement as they had previously made the title of their song public, which went against the rules of the competition, and were replaced by Nafsica Gavrilaki.

[21][17] The Greek jury consisted of Michalis Hatzigiannis (composer and singer), Jenny Melita (journalist and presenter), Fotis Sergoulopoulos [el] (presenter), Margarita Mytilineou [el] (director of the radio stations Ellinikos and Pride) and Giannis Christodoulopoulos [el] (composer), while the international jury consisted of Martin Holmen [no] (presenter and radio producer at NRK), Olivier Auclair (Head of Entertainment at RTBF), Léa Ivanne (French singer-songwriter and vocal coach), Wilkin William Edmund Roy (director of music programmes at the BBC) and Simona Martorelli (director of International Relations and European Affairs at RAI).
