"J'imagine"

Twelve countries participated in the contest, having the smallest number of participants since the 2013 contest (with some countries pointing the COVID-19 pandemic situation and the resulting travel restrictions as the reasons for their withdrawal), with Germany participating for the first time.

France's Valentina was the winner of the contest with the song "J'imagine". This was France's first victory in the contest, as well as their first victory at a Eurovision event since Eurovision Young Dancers 1989. Kazakhstan and Spain finished in second and third place respectively for the second year in a row. The Netherlands and Belarus completed the top five, with the Netherlands finishing fourth also for the second year in a row. Debuting country Germany finished last.
