In the superfinal, a jury vote entirely selected "Love Is Blind" performed by Donny Montell as the winner.

[1] The nation's best placing in the contest was sixth, which it achieved in 2006 with the song "We Are the Winners" performed by LT United.

In the 2011 contest, "C'est ma vie" performed by Evelina Sašenko qualified to the final where the song scored 63 points and placed 19th.

LRT confirmed their intentions to participate at the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest on 11 September 2011 and announced the organization of "Eurovizijos" dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka, which would be the national final to select Lithuania's entry for Baku.

[2][3] "Eurovizijos" dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka (Eurovision Song Contest national selection) was the national final format developed by LRT in order to select Lithuania's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2012.

The competition involved a five-week-long process that commenced on 4 February 2012 and concluded with a winning song and artist on 3 March 2012.

The five shows took place at the LRT studios in Vilnius and were hosted by Liepa Rimkevičienė and Darius Užkuraitis.

[10] The winning artist(s) were awarded an additional 10,000 LTL sponsored by Akvilė in order to assist in their preparation for the Eurovision Song Contest.

The ranking developed by both streams of voting was converted to points from 1–8, 10 and 12 and assigned based on the number of competing songs in the respective show.

[12] LRT opened a submission period on 14 October 2011 for artists and songwriters to submit their entries with the deadline on 31 December 2011.

[20] The final of the competition took place on 3 March 2012 and featured the remaining fourteen entries that qualified from the semi-finals.

In the superfinal, "Love Is Blind" performed by Donny Montell was selected as the winner after gaining the most points from the jurors.

The concert featured guests Edmundas Seilius, Kristina Zmailaitė, Sasha Song, Linas Adomaitis, Monika Linkyte, Rosita Čivilytė, Kastytis Kerbedis and Aistė Petkevičiūtė, and raised 80,000 LTL from the public donations.

[25] Donny Montell specifically promoted "Love Is Blind" as the Lithuanian Eurovision entry on 21 April 2012 by performing during the Eurovision in Concert event which was held at the Melkweg venue in Amsterdam, Netherlands and hosted by Ruth Jacott and Cornald Maas.

[26] According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final.

On 25 January 2012, an allocation draw was held which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, as well as which half of the show they would perform in.

"[30][31] At the end of the show, Lithuania was announced as having finished in the top 10 and subsequently qualifying for the grand final.

This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.

In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.
