Denmark was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 with the song "Breaking My Heart", written by Bård Mathias Bonsaksen, Hilda Stenmalm, Rani Petersen, and Sivert Hjeltnes Hagtvet, and performed by Petersen himself under his stage name Reiley. The Danish participating broadcaster, the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR), organised the national final Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2023 in order to select its entry for the contest. Eight songs competed in a televised show where the winner was decided upon through two rounds of voting.
Denmark was assigned to compete in the second semi-final on May 11, 2023. Performing first in the semi-final, "Breaking My Heart" did not advance to the final, as it was not among the top 10 entries announced. It was subsequently revealed that Denmark ranked 14th out of 16 countries in the semi-final, earning 6 points, all from Iceland.
