For the first time France 2, apart from French publishers, approached the most important European music publishers and asked them to write specifically for the Eurovision Song Contest. The internal committee at the French broadcaster reviewed more than 100 songs, in the search of the perfect song for the Eurovision Song Contest 2020.
As explained Alexandra Redde-Amiel, Head of France Télévisions’ Entertainment Department and the new Head of Delegation: "We think that the ideal proposal corresponds to a match between a song for which we had a huge crush and an artist to embody it".
