For the 1995 Eurovision Song Contest, held in Dublin for the second consecutive year, the United Kingdom entered "Love City Groove", performed by Love City Groove. It finished in 10th place with a total of 76 points.

National final

The selection for the UK's entry took place on Friday 31 March 1995 in A Song For Europe '95, hosted, as ever, by Terry Wogan. After three years of having one act perform all the nominated songs, the UK national round for 1995 reverted to a multi-artist format which remained in place until 2010 (from 2011 to 2015, the BBC internally selected their performer and song).

The UK public decided on the winning song, and the results were as follows:
