Performing during the show in position 16, "Rain of Revolution" was not announced among the top 10 entries of the second semi-final and therefore did not qualify to compete in the final.

In the 2016 contest, "I've Been Waiting for This Night" performed by Donny Montell qualified to the final where the song scored 200 points and placed 9th.

LRT confirmed their intentions to participate at the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest on 11 August 2016 and announced the organization of "Eurovizijos" dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka, which would be the national final to select Lithuania's entry for Kyiv.

The competition involved a ten-week-long process that commenced on 7 January 2017 and concluded with a winning song and artist on 11 March 2017.

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.

[8] On 26 January 2017, the final changes to the list of 51 competing acts were made with the withdrawal of singers Soliaris and Ruslanas Kirilkinas.

The semi-final of the competition aired from the LRT studios in Vilnius on 4 March 2017 and featured the remaining eight entries that qualified from the eighth show.

[13] The final of the competition took place on 11 March 2017 at the Švyturys Arena in Klaipėda and featured the remaining seven entries that qualified from the semi-final and the online repechage.

The members of the Lithuanian panel consist of Ramūnas Zilnys (music reviewer), Dalia Ibelhauptaitė (director and playwright), Vytautas Lukočius (conductor), Nomeda Kazlaus (opera singer), Kazimieras Šiaulys (music critic and journalist), Povilas Meškėla (lead singer of the group Rojaus tūzai) and Donny Montell (singer-songwriter).

The international panel consisted of Peter Freudenthaler (lead singer of the German group Fools Garden), Denis Ingoldsby (British producer), Lauris Reiniks (Latvian singer-songwriter) and Chloe Maggs (Australian lead vocalist for the American group The Pussycat Dolls).

[15] Fusedmarc made several appearances across Europe to specifically promote "Rain of Revolution" as the Lithuanian Eurovision entry.

[16][17] On 8 April, Fusedmarc performed during the Eurovision in Concert event which was held at the Melkweg venue in Amsterdam, Netherlands and hosted by Cornald Maas and Selma Björnsdóttir.

[20] On 31 January 2017, 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.

[25][26] Fusedmarc was joined by four backing vocalists on stage: Jekaterina Fiodorova, Kristina Žaldokaitė, Laura Rakauskaitė and Vaiva Adomaitytė.

Each nation's jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent, with their names published before the contest to ensure transparency.

This jury judged each entry based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act.

The individual rankings of each jury member as well as the nation's televoting results were released shortly after the grand final.
