Speaking to Belarussian new portal TUT.by, PR manager Sergey Andrianov expressed that a similar situation to the selection process of Belarus’ Junior Eurovision 2020 might occur. That was the first time the country used an internal selection method since selecting Anastasia Vinnikova with I Love Belarus in 2011.

According to TUT.by’s sources, Zinaida Kupriyanovich, better known as ZENA has also submitted a song for the Belarussian selection process. In 2019, ZENA has reached the 24th place in the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest in Tel-Aviv.
The rules for the selection stated previously that all submissions must include a live 3 minute video recording of the entry that is being put forward for Eurovision. Singers wishing to compete in the contest were only able to submit one song into the selection.
