Denmark was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2001 with the song "Never Ever Let You Go", written by Søren Poppe, Stefan Nielsen, and Thomas Brekling, and performed by the duo Rollo & King. The Danish participating broadcaster, DR (DR), organised the national final Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2001 in order to select its entry for the contest. In addition, DR was also the host broadcaster and staged the event at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen, after winning the previous edition with the song "Fly on the Wings of Love" by the Olsen Brothers.

Ten songs competed in the televised national final where "Der står et billede af dig på mit bord" performed by Rollo & King 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 "Never Ever Let You Go". The Eurovision Song Contest took place on 12 May 2001. Performing as the closing entry during the show in position 23, Denmark placed second out of the 23 participating countries, scoring 177 points.
