      O melodie pentru Europa 2019 was the national final format developed by TRM in order to select Moldova's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2019. The event took place on 2 March 2019. The selection of the competing entries for the national final and ultimately the Moldovan Eurovision entry took place over two rounds. The first round was a live audition of the received submissions in front of a jury panel that took place on 2 February 2019. Entries were assessed on criteria such as voice quality, stage presence and strength of the composition. The panel selected 10 finalists to proceed to the second round, the televised national final. 10 finalists competed in the final on 2 March 2019 where the winner was selected by the 50/50 combination of an expert jury vote and a public televote.
      The final took place on 2 March 2019. Ten songs competed and the winner was selected based on the combination of a public televote and the votes of an expert jury. "Stay" was selected as the winner, earning 22 points, with 12 coming from the jury and 10 from the televote.

      The song represented Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019, after Anna Odobescu was selected through O melodie pentru Europa 2019, the Moldovan national selection which selected Moldova's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. On 28 January 2019, a special allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in. Moldova was placed into the second semi-final, to be held on 16 May 2019, and was scheduled to perform in the first half of the show. Once all the competing songs for the 2019 contest had been released, the running order for the semi-finals was decided by the show's producers rather than through another draw, so that similar songs were not placed next to each other. Moldova was performed in position 3.
