Denmark was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 with the song "Cliche Love Song", written by Lasse Lindorff, Kim Nowak-Zorde, Daniel Fält, and Basim, and performed by Basim himself. The Danish participating broadcaster, Danmarks Radio (DR), organised the national final Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2014 in order to select its entry for the contest. In addition, DR was also the host broadcaster and staged the event at B&W Hallerne in Copenhagen, after winning the previous edition with the song "Only Teardrops" by Emmelie de Forest. Ten songs competed in a televised national final where "Cliche Love Song" performed by Basim was the winner as decided upon through the combination of jury voting and public voting over two rounds.
As the host country, Denmark qualified to compete directly in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Denmark's running order position was determined by draw. Performing in position 23 during the final, Denmark placed ninth out of the 26 participating countries with 74 points.
