Tijana's appointment as the Macedonian representative was announced on 22 February 2014, while her song, "To the Sky", was presented to the public in a special edition of the MRT show Hit na mesecot.

Performing during the show in position 11, "To the Sky" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final.

[1] The nation's best result in the contest to this point was twelfth, which it achieved in 2006 with the song "Ninanajna" performed by Elena Risteska.

On 28 August 2013, MRT announced during the evening news programme Dnevnik that they had internally selected Tijana Dapčević to represent Macedonia in Copenhagen.

[2] Tijana previously attempted to represent Macedonia at the Eurovision Song Contest by competing in the country's national final selections on several occasions.

On 23 March, Tijana performed during the final of the first season of the reality singing competition X Factor Adria, which was held at the Kombank Arena in Belgrade, Serbia.

[9] On 31 March, Tijana performed during the Eurovision in Concert event which was held at the Melkweg venue in Amsterdam, Netherlands and hosted by Cornald Maas and Sandra Reemer.

On 20 January 2014, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in.

[19][20] The dancer that joined Tijana on stage was Dejan Kolarov and the three backing vocalists were Tamara Todevska, Dimitar Andonovski and Nikola Perevski Pere.

[21] At the end of the show, Macedonia was not announced among the top 10 entries in the second semi-final and therefore failed to qualify to compete in the final.

The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency.

This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.
