Internal selection
RTCG confirmed Montenegro's participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 on 25 September 2013. On 19 November 2013, RTCG held a press conference where they presented Sergej Ćetković as the internally selected representative for Montenegro. At the press conference, Ćetković stated that his main goal would be to take Montenegro to the final. Ćetković had stated early in 2013 that he was contacted by RTCG to represent Montenegro in the previous year's contest, however, due to time constraints he was not able to commit to the proposal. Ćetković previously attempted to represent Serbia and Montenegro at the contest in 2004 placing eighth in their national final with the song "Ne mogu da ti oprostim".
Sergej Ćetković recorded two versions of the Montenegrin entry: the Montenegrin version "Moj svijet" (My world) and the English version "My Love". At the contest, Ćetković performed the Montenegrin language version of the entry. The song was composed by Ćetković himself in collaboration with Emina Sandal (lyricist of the Montenegrin version), Biljana Marković (lyricist of the English version), Vladan Popović and Marko Milatović. The presentation of the entry took place on 9 March 2014 at the Hotel Splendid in Bečići, hosted by Sabrija Vulić. The show featured the presentation of the music video for the song which was directed by Aleksandar Kerekeš.
