Sweden was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1969 with the song "Judy, min vän", composed by Roger Wallis, with lyrics by Britt Lindeborg, and performed by Tommy Körberg. The Swedish participating broadcaster, Sveriges Radio (SR), selected its entry through Melodifestivalen 1969. In the national final, a tie occurred between two songs, but after additional voting, the song "Judy, min vän" performed by Tommy Körberg, was selected over the other song, "Hej clown", written by Lasse Berghagen and later ABBA member Benny Andersson, and performed by Jan Malmsjö.
At the Eurovision Song Contest, held in Madrid, "Judy, min vän" finished 9th out of 16. Most points came from Sweden's neighbours, Norway and Finland. Sharing the 9th place was Germany, represented by the Swedish singer Siw Malmkvist, who had also represented Sweden in 1960. She did, however, not get any points from Sweden.
