Norway was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 with the song "High", composed by Thomas Thörnholm and Lars Andersson, with lyrics by Danne Attlerud, and performed by Knut Anders Sørum. The Norwegian participating broadcaster, Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK), organised the national final Melodi Grand Prix 2004 in order to select its entry for the contest. Twelve entries competed in a show that took place on 6 March 2004 and the winner was determined over two rounds of public televoting. The top four entries in the first round of voting advanced to the competition's second round—the Gold Final. In the second round of public televoting, "High" performed by Knut Anders Sørum was selected as the winner with 82,427 votes.

As one of ten highest placed finishers in the 2003 contest, Norway directly qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 15 May 2004. Performing in position 3, Norway placed twenty-fourth (last) out of the 24 participating countries with 3 points.
