Denmark participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 with the song "Where I Am" written by Anja Nissen, Angel Tupai and Michael D'Arcy. The song was performed by Anja Nissen. The Danish broadcaster DR organised the national final Melodi Grand Prix 2017 in order to select the Danish entry for the 2017 contest in Kyiv, Ukraine. Ten songs competed in a televised show where "Where I Am" performed by Anja Nissen was the winner as decided upon through the combination of jury voting and public voting over two rounds.
Denmark was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 11 May 2017. Performing during the show in position 8, "Where I Am" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 13 May. It was later revealed that Denmark placed tenth out of the 18 participating countries in the semi-final with 101 points. In the final, Denmark performed in position 10 and placed twentieth out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 77 points.
