Finland was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2000 with the song "A Little Bit", composed by Luca Genta, with lyrics by Gerrit aan't Goor, and performed by Nina Åström. The Finnish participating broadcaster, Yleisradio (Yle), organised the national final Euroviisut 2000. The broadcaster returned to the contest after a one-year absence following its relegation from 1999 as one of the six entrants with the least average points over the preceding five contests. 12 entries were selected to compete in the national final, which consisted of a semi-final and a final, taking place in January and February 2000. The top six from the semi-final, as selected solely by a public vote, advanced to the final. Six entries competed in the final on 12 January where the 50/50 combination of votes from a ten-member expert jury and votes from the public selected "A Little Bit" performed by Nina Åström as the winner.
Finland competed in the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 13 May 2000. Performing during the show in position 20, Finland placed eighteenth out of the 24 participating countries, scoring 18 points.
