“Let's discoteque right at my home, it is okay to dance alone.”
While we might be discotequing at home, The Roop is going to Rotterdam to represent Lithuania at the Eurovision Song Contest.

With douze points from both the jury and televoters, The Roop, led by Vaidotas Valiukevičius, triumphed in Lithuania's national final, again. In 2020, they also won the national competition. This time, though, the band will, hopefully, get to perform for Europe.
“It's a bit of a déjà vu. I want to thank everyone who voted, the jury and the audience. We're thankful and we will definitely continue to carry the Lithuanian flag,” Valiukevičius said after the results were announced.
The live event on Saturday night saw six performers and bands giving their songs a go in a studio without audience. All except The Roop made their way to the national final via two heats and last week's semifinal.
Last year's winners, The Roop, were given a spot in the top six. Still, they had to convince the jury and televoters that their new song, Discoteque, was as worthy as last year's hit On Fire.
The other finalists were:
Gebrasy, Where'd You Wanna Go?
Voldemars Petersons, Never Fall for You Again
Titas and Benas, No
Evita Cololo, Be Paslapčių
Martyna, Thank You Very Much
