Lithuania participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with the song " I 've Been Waiting for This Night " written by Jonas Thander and Beatrice Robertsson . The song was performed by Donny Montell , who previously represented Lithuania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 with the song " Love is Blind " , placing fourteenth in the final . The Lithuanian broadcaster Lithuanian National Radio and Television ( LRT ) organised the national final '' " Eurovizijos " dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka '' ( Eurovision Song Contest national selection ) in order to select the Lithuanian entry for the 2016 contest in Stockholm , Sweden . The national final took place over ten weeks and involved 28 artists initially competing in two different competitive streams : artists that applied with a song and artists that were matched with a song from the song submissions LRT received because they did not have a song . The results of each show were determined by the combination of votes from a jury panel and a public vote . In the final , six artists and songs remained and " I 've Been Waiting For This Night " performed by Donny Montell was selected as the winner
