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, 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.

Denmark competed in the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 13 May 2000. Performing during the show in position 14, Denmark placed first out of the 24 participating countries, winning the contest with 195 points. This was Denmark's second win in the Eurovision Song Contest; their first victory was in 1963.
