Lithuania’s debut in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994 with Ovidijus Vysniauskas‚ „Lopsine Mylimai“ didn’t go as planned, as they ended up last with zero points. Unlike their Baltic neighbours Estonia and Latvia, who have each won the contest twice, Lithuania has faced challenges in selecting successful entries, with only three exceptions. LT United’s „We are the winners“ secured 6th place in Athens in 2006, Donny Montell’s „I’ve been Waiting for This Night“ achieved 9th place in Stockholm in 2016, and The Roop’s „Discoteque“ placed 8th in Rotterdam last year. However, Lithuania has managed to qualify for the Grand Final 16 times out of 24 participations. Despite this, the likelihood of Lithuania reaching the top 10 remains relatively low at 13%.

It appears that the Lithuanian broadcaster LRT has adopted a deliberate strategy of predominantly using English in their Eurovision entries. This decision aims to enhance international understanding and increase the chances of success on the Eurovision stage. This strategy seems to have yielded some positive outcomes, as Lithuania has frequently qualified for the Grand Final and secured three top-ten results.
