Austria was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 with the song "Get a Life – Get Alive", composed by Greg Usek, with lyrics by Austin Howard, and performed by Eric Papilaya. The Austrian participating broadcaster, Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF), internally selected its entry for the contest. In October 2006, ORF announced that it would be returning to the contest after a one-year absence following its withdrawal in 2006 due to poor results in 2005. On 20 February 2007, ORF announced that they had internally selected Eric Papilaya to compete at the 2007 contest, while "Get a Life – Get Alive" was presented to the public on 7 March 2007.
Austria competed in the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 10 May 2007. Performing during the show in position 27, "Get a Life – Get Alive" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Austria placed twenty-seventh out of the 28 participating countries in the semi-final with 4 points.
