Germany originally planned to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 with the song "Violent Thing" written by Borislav Milanov, Peter St. James, Dag Lundberg, Jimmy Thorén and Connor Martin and performed by Ben Dolic. The German entry for the 2020 contest in Rotterdam, Netherlands was internally selected by the German broadcaster ARD in collaboration with Norddeutscher Rundfunk. The presentation of "Violent Thing" as the German entry occurred during the show Unser Lied für Rotterdam on 27 February 2020.

As a member of the "Big Five", Germany had automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest; however, the contest was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In its place, the entry was included in several Eurovision replacement events.
