Denmark was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2000 with the song "Fly on the Wings of Love", written by Jørgen Olsen, and performed by the Olsen Brothers. The Danish participating broadcaster, Danmarks Radio (DR), organised the national final Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2000 in order to select its entry for the contest. Ten songs competed in a televised show where "Smuk som et stjerneskud" performed by the Olsen Brothers was the winner as decided upon through two rounds of jury voting and public voting. The song was later translated from Danish to English for Eurovision and was titled "Fly on the Wings of Love". The entry eventually won the contest.
