Estonia was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 with the song "{{lang|et|Rändajad|i=no}}", written by Sven Lõhmus, and performed by the group Urban Symphony. The Estonian participating broadcaster, {{lang|et|Eesti Rahvusringhääling|i=no}} (ERR), organised the national final {{lang|et|Eesti Laul 2009}} in order to select its entry for the contest. Ten songs competed in the national final and the winner was selected over two rounds of voting. In the first round, a jury panel and a public vote selected the top two to qualify to the superfinal. In the superfinal, "{{lang|et|Rändajad|i=no}}" performed by Urban Symphony was selected as the winner entirely by a public vote.
Estonia was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 14 May 2009. Performing during the show in position 18, "{{lang|et|Rändajad|i=no}}" was announced among the 10 qualifying entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 16 May. This marked the first time that Estonia qualified to the final of the Eurovision Song Contest from a semi-final since the introduction of semi-finals in 2004. It was later revealed that Estonia placed third out of the 19 participating countries in the semi-final with 115 points. In the final, Estonia performed in position 15 and placed sixth out of the 25 participating countries, scoring 129 points.
Background
{{main|Estonia in the Eurovision Song Contest}}
Prior to the 2009 contest, {{lang|et|Eesti Televisioon|i=no}} (ETV) until 2007, and {{lang|et|Eesti Rahvusringhääling|i=no}} (ERR) in 2008, had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest representing Estonia fourteen times since ETV's first entry in {{escyr|1994}},{{cite web|title=Estonia Country Profile|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/by-country/country?country=26|access-date=5 November 2015|publisher=EBU}} winning the contest on one occasion: {{esccnty|Estonia|y=2001|t=in 2001}} with the song "Everybody" performed by Tanel Padar, Dave Benton, and 2XL. Following the introduction of semi-finals for the {{Escyr|2004||2004 contest}}, Estonia had, to this point, failed to qualify to the final on each occasion; in {{esccnty|Estonia|y=2008|t=2008}}, "{{lang|sr-latn|Leto svet|i=no}}" performed by Kreisiraadio placed eighteenth in the semi-final, their fifth consecutive non-qualification.
As part of its duties as participating broadcaster, ERR organised the selection of its entry in the Eurovision Song Contest and broadcast the event in the country. Despite Estonian Minister of Culture Laine Jänes announcing in August 2008 a possible boycott to be held between the three Baltic states due to the Russian participation in the 2008 South Ossetia war in Georgia,{{cite web|last=Floras|first=Stella|date=2008-08-22|title=Estonia: Minister discusses possible boycott of Eurovision in Moscow|url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/12215|access-date=2008-08-22|publisher=ESCToday}} ERR confirmed its participation at the 2009 contest on 17 September 2008 based on the results of a public poll in September 2008 in favour of participating in the Eurovision Song Contest.{{cite web|author=Floras, Stella|date=2008-09-17|title=Estonia will participate in 2009|url=http://www.esctoday.com/news/read/12296|access-date=2008-09-17|publisher=ESCToday}} Since their debut, the Estonian broadcaster has organised national finals that feature a competition among multiple artists and songs in order to select its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. The {{lang|et|Eurolaul}} competition has been organised since 1993, however on 14 October 2008, ERR announced the introduction of the newly formed {{lang|et|Eesti Laul}} competition in order to select its 2009 entry.

At Eurovision
According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Four" (France, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top nine songs from each semi-final as determined by televoting progress to the final, and a tenth was determined by back-up juries. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. On 30 January 2009, an allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals. Estonia was placed into the second semi-final, to be held on 14 May 2009.{{cite web|last=Bakker|first=Sietse|date=2009-01-30|title=LIVE: The Semi-Final Allocation Draw|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=1857|access-date=2009-01-30|publisher=EBU}} The running order for the semi-finals was decided through another draw on 16 March 2009 and Estonia was set to perform in position 18, following the entry from {{esccnty|Ukraine|y=2009}} and before the entry from the {{esccnty|Netherlands|y=2009}}.
The two semi-finals and the final were broadcast in Estonia on ETV with commentary by Marko Reikop and Olav Osolin. ERR appointed Laura, who represented Estonia in 2005 as part of the group Suntribe, as its spokesperson to announce the Estonian votes during the final.

The lead singer of Urban Symphony, Sandra Nurmsalu, was in a dress with violet spangles. The performance also featured smoke effects and the use of a wind machine. The members of Urban Symphony were joined by two backing vocalists: Marilin Kongo and Mirjam Mesak.{{Cite web|date=6 May 2009|title=Estonia: Classy and Atmospheric|url=https://eurovision.tv/story/estonia-classy-and-atmospheric|access-date=26 August 2021|website=eurovision.tv}}{{Cite web|date=10 May 2009|title=Ethereal harmonies from Estonia|url=https://eurovision.tv/story/ethereal-harmonies-from-estonia|access-date=26 August 2021|website=eurovision.tv}}
At the end of the show, Estonia was announced as having finished in the top 10 and subsequently qualifying for the grand final. This marked the first time that Estonia qualified to the final of the Eurovision Song Contest from a semi-final since the introduction of semi-finals in 2004.{{cite web|title=Second Semi-Final of Moscow 2009|url=https://eurovision.tv/event/moscow-2009/second-semi-final|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210425071209/https://eurovision.tv/event/moscow-2009/second-semi-final|archive-date=25 April 2021|access-date=25 April 2021|publisher=European Broadcasting Union}} It was later revealed that Estonia placed 3rd in the semi-final, receiving a total of 115 points.

Shortly after the second semi-final, a winners' press conference was held for the ten qualifying countries. As part of this press conference, the qualifying artists took part in a draw to determine the running order for the final. This draw was done in the order the countries appeared in the semi-final running order. Estonia was drawn to perform in position 15, following the entry from {{esccnty|Malta|y=2009}} and before the entry from {{esccnty|Denmark|y=2009}}.{{Cite web|date=15 May 2009|title=Semi-Final qualifiers completed the running order|url=https://eurovision.tv/story/semi-final-qualifiers-completed-the-running-order|access-date=26 August 2021|website=eurovision.tv}}
Urban Symphony once again took part in dress rehearsals on 15 and 16 May before the final, including the jury final where the professional juries cast their final votes before the live show. The members of Urban Symphony performed a repeat of their semi-final performance during the final on 16 May.

= Voting =
The voting system for 2009 involved each country awarding points from 1-8, 10 and 12, with the points in the final being decided by a combination of 50% national jury and 50% televoting. Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent. This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.
Following the release of the full split voting by the EBU after the conclusion of the competition, it was revealed that Estonia had placed sixth with the public televote and fifth with the jury vote in the final. In the public vote, Estonia scored 129 points, while with the jury vote, Estonia scored 124 points.
Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Estonia and awarded by Estonia in the second semi-final and grand final of the contest, and the breakdown of the jury voting and televoting conducted during the two shows:
