Romania was set to be represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 with the song "Alcohol You", written by Ionuț Armaș, Viky Red, and Breyan Isaac, and performed by Roxen. The Romanian participating broadcaster, Televiziunea Română (TVR), selected its entry through the national final Selecția Națională 2020, after having previously selected the performer internally. TVR announced Roxen on 11 February 2020, while the national selection competition took place on 1 March.
Prior to the scheduled Eurovision Song Contest 2020, "Alcohol You" was promoted by a lyric video, while Roxen appeared on several native talk shows and radio stations. Romania was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which would have taken place on 12 May 2020. However, the contest was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
