France in Eurovision 2020
Tom Leeb was expected to represent France last year in Rotterdam with his song “Mon Alliée (The Best In Me)”. It was written by himself, Léa Ivanne, John Lundvik and Amir Haddad.
Unfortunately, before Tom could take to the stage in The Netherlands, the Eurovision Song Contest was announced to be cancelled this year. With Tom not returning to represent France in 2021, French broadcaster France 2 decide to return to a national final to choose the representative.
