The Netherlands was set to be represented in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 with the song "Grow", written by Jeangu Macrooy and Pieter Perquin, and performed by Macrooy himself. The Dutch participating broadcaster AVROTROS internally selected its entry for the contest. In addition, AVROTROS was also going to be the host broadcaster, along NPO and NOS, after winning the previous edition with the song "Arcade" performed by Duncan Laurence. Macrooy's appointment as the Dutch representative was announced on 10 January 2020, while the song, "Grow", was presented to the public on 4 March 2020.
As the host country, the Netherlands automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. However, the contest was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
