On 21 December 2011,Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE) announced that it had internally selectedPastora Soler asits performer for the57th edition of theEurovision Song Contest.[1] On 3 March 2012, "Quédate conmigo", "Tu vida es tu vida", and "Ahora o nunca" competed in a three-songnational final organized by RTVE, and aired onLa 1 ofTelevisión Española, to select the song Soler would perform in the contest. "Quédate conmigo", and "Tu vida es tu vida", had been directly selected by Soler, whereas "Ahora o nunca" had been selected through an online vote over "Me despido de ti".[2]
"Voy a quedarme" won the competition so it became the Spanish entry for Eurovision.[3] Unlike "Tu vida es tu vida", "Quédate conmigo" was not a song from Soler's latest albumUna mujer como yo, she chose it from over 200 proposals she received through her record company. According to Soler, it became her favourite the moment she listened to it.[4]
The song was released in its first version in Spainon digital platforms on 28 February 2012, both as a single and as part of a 4-trackEP,Especial Eurovisión, containing her candidate songs for Eurovision.[5]
The final Eurovision version of the song, with polished production, was included in a special reissue ofUna mujer como yo, Soler's latest album, which was re-released on 27 March 2012.[6] This version was also released as a single on digital platforms on 30 March 2012 as "Quédate conmigo (Versión Bakú)".[7]
Soler recorded an English-language version of the song, "Stay With Me", which was released on digital platforms on 24 July 2012.[8]
RTVE premiered the official music video of the song on 19 March 2012. The video focuses on Pastora Soler, with medium shots and close-ups of her against a black backdrop. These images are alternated with a couple of dancers. The music video served to introduce the final version of the song for the Eurovision Song Contest.[9][10]
On 26 May 2012, the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest was held in theBaku Crystal Hall inBaku hosted byİctimai Television (İTV) and broadcast live throughout the continent. Soler performed "Quédate conmigo" nineteenth on the night, followingTurkey's "Love Me Back" byCan Bonomo and precedingGermany's "Standing Still" byRoman Lob.[11]
At the close of voting, it had received 97 points, placing tenth in a field of twenty-six, achieving the first top 10 result for Spain since2004.[12] The song was succeeded as Spanish entry at the2013 contest by "Contigo hasta el final" byEl Sueño de Morfeo.[13]
