Yugoslavia was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1989 with the song "Rock Me", composed by Rajko Dujmić, with lyrics by Stevo Cvikić, and performed by the band Riva.
The Yugoslavian participating broadcaster, Jugoslavenska radiotelevizija (JRT), selected its entry through Jugovizija 1989.
The entry eventually won the Eurovision Song Contest for the first and only time for Yugoslavia.
The Yugoslav national final to select their entry, Jugovizija 1989, was held on 4 March 1989 at the Grand Hall of the Serbian National Theatre in Novi Sad,[1] and was hosted by Dina Čolić and Boško Negovanović.
