Denmark participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with the song "Øve os på hinanden" written by Laurits Emanuel. The song was performed by the duo Fyr og Flamme. The Danish broadcaster DR organised the national final Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2021 in order to select the Danish entry for the 2021 contest in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Eight songs competed in a televised show where "Øve os på hinanden" performed by Fyr og Flamme was the winner as decided upon through two rounds of public voting.

Denmark was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 20 May 2021. Performing as the closing entry during the show in position 17, "Øve os på hinanden" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final. It was later revealed that Denmark placed eleventh out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final with 89 points.
