The Danish participating broadcaster, Danmarks Radio (DR), organised the national final Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2000 in order to select its entry for the contest.

The event was held on 19 February 2000 at the Cirkusbygningen in Copenhagen, hosted by Natasja Crone Back and Michael Carøe and televised on DR1.

In the first round, the top five songs based on the combination of votes from a public televote and a seven-member jury panel qualified to the superfinal.

In the superfinal, the winner, "Smuk som et stjerneskud" performed by the Olsen Brothers, was selected by the public and jury vote.

At the contest, the Olsen Brothers performed the English version of "Smuk som et stjerneskud", titled "Fly on the Wings of Love".

DR appointed Michael Teschl, who represented Denmark in 1999, as its spokesperson to announce the Danish votes during the show.

In 2005, "Fly on the Wings of Love" was one of fourteen songs chosen by Eurovision fans and an EBU reference group to participate in the Congratulations anniversary competition.

[15] In both the first and second round, in spite of having the opportunity to vote for their own entry, Denmark awarded twelve points to neighboring Sweden and ABBA's "Waterloo," which wound up winning.
