Denmark participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the song "In a Moment like This" written by Thomas G:son, Henrik Sethsson and Erik Bernholm. The song was performed by Chanée and N'evergreen. The Danish broadcaster DR organised the national final Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2010 in order to select the Danish entry for the 2010 contest in Oslo, Norway. Ten songs competed in a televised show where the winner was selected over three rounds of voting. The results of the first round were decided upon through the combination of jury voting and public voting while the results in the second and third round were determined solely by public televoting. "In a Moment like This" performed by Chanée and N'evergreen was the winner after gaining the most public votes in the third round.
Denmark was drawn to compete in the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 27 May 2010. Performing during the show in position 4, "In a Moment like This" was announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 29 May. It was later revealed that Denmark placed fifth out of the 17 participating countries in the semi-final with 101 points. In the final, Denmark was the closing performance of the show in position 25, placing fourth out of the 25 participating countries with 149 points.
