Lyrics:


Germany participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 with the song "Black Smoke", written by Michael Harwood, Ella McMahon and Tonino Speciale. The song was performed by Ann Sophie. The German entry for the 2015 contest in Vienna, Austria was selected through the national final Unser Song für Österreich, organised by the German broadcaster ARD in collaboration with Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR). The national final included a club concert wildcard round which took place on 19 February 2015 and featured ten undiscovered artists. Gaining 24.1% of the public vote, Ann Sophie was selected to compete in the final alongside seven established acts which took place on 5 March 2015 with the winner being selected through three rounds of public voting. "Heart of Stone" performed by Andreas Kümmert was initially announced as the German entry for Vienna after placing among the top four during the first round of voting, among the top two during the second round of voting and ultimately gaining 78.7% of the vote in the third round, however the artist immediately forfeited his victory upon the announcement. The confirmation of national final runner-up "Black Smoke" performed by Ann Sophie as the German entry occurred during the post-show press conference. The unprecedented withdrawal of Kümmert garnered international media interest. As a member of the "Big 5", Germany automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Performing in position 17, Germany placed twenty-seventh (last) out of the 27 participating countries and failed to score any points, making it the sixth time the nation had placed last in the history of the competition and the third time the nation received nul points.

Overall Final Postion: 27
