The Danish participating broadcaster, Danmarks Radio (DR), organised the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1996 in order to select its entry for the contest.

The entry failed to make it through the pre-selection round, meaning Denmark was not represented at the Eurovision Song Contest.

Danmarks Radio (DR) held the Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1996 on 9 March at TV-Byen in Gladsaxe, hosted by Hans Otto Bisgård.

The results of the public televote were revealed by Denmark's regions and "Kun med dig" was an overwhelming winner, receiving more votes than the other four songs combined.

[3] After the voting, "Kun med dig" had received 22 points, placing 25th and bringing Denmark's participation in 1996 to a premature end.
