Norway in The Song 1

Norway competed in The Song 1, held at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. The Norwegian broadcaster Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) internally selected Ehle with the song "Dark Side", written by Elsbeth Rehder and Jonas Holteberg Jensen, to compete for Norway at the contest.

Internal selection
NRK announced on 19 May 2022 that they had found their representative for the first edition and they would announce it in the upcoming days. On 23rd of May 2022, NRK announced that Ehle would represent Norway in The Song 1 with the song "Dark Side".

At The Song
According to The Song rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Three" (Belgium, Italy and Sweden) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favorable voting histories put into the same pot. On 21 May 2022, an allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in. Norway has been placed into the first semi-final, to be held on 30 May 2022, and has been scheduled to perform in the first half of the show.

Once all the competing songs for the first contest had been released, the running order for the semi-finals was decided by the shows' producers rather than through another draw, so that similar songs were not placed next to each other. Norway was set to perform in position 1, before the entry from Croatia.
