In November 2018, she was announced as the Armenian representative in the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Tel Aviv, Israel. Right after the announcement, AMPTV also opened the song submission period for composers to send their entries. In March 2019, "Walking Out" was revealed as her entry for the contest. Composed by Lost Capital and tokionine, the lyrics of the song were written by Garik Papoyan, who previously co-wrote Armenia's 2014 entry for Aram Mp3. Srbuk performed the song on 16 May 2019 in the second semi-final of the contest and did not advance to the final, finishing 16th in the semi-final. Shortly after, the song was removed from Spotify.
