On 12 January 2017, Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE) confirmed "Do It for Your Lover" performed by Navarro to be one of the six finalists songs competing in Objetivo Eurovisión 2017, their national selection for the 62nd edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. On 11 February 2017, the national final was held on La 1 of Televisión Española, and "Do It for Your Lover" finished first with the juries and third with the Spanish public, in a tie with "Contigo" by Mirela. The jury then broke the tie in Navarro's favour, and he was declared the winner, so "Do It for Your Lover" became the Spanish entry for Eurovision.

On 13 May 2017, the Eurovision Song Contest grand final was held at the International Exhibition Centre in Kyiv hosted by the Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (UA:PBC), and broadcast live throughout the continent. As Spain is a member of the "Big Five", he had automatically advanced to the final. Navarro performed "Do It for Your Lover" sixteenth on the night following Greece's "This Is Love" by Demy and preceding Norway's "Grab the Moment" by Jowst. Hans Pannecoucke was the staging director for his performance. In the climax of the song, Navarro went notoriously off-key, and his bad result was partly attributed to it.
At the close of voting, "Do It for Your Lover" obtained no points from the professional juries and only five from the public televote (all from Portugal), finishing in twenty-sixth and last place.
