Alas, this was not meant to be as the 2020 contest was cancelled due to the UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic. While several countries immediately confirmed their 2020 representative for 2021 as well, Lithuanian broadcaster LRT decided to renew their selection show ''Pabandom iš naujo!'' with a new cohort of potential entries, though offering The Roop a wildcard place directly in the grand final. The band accepted the offer and, with the equally catchy song "Discoteque", won the chance to represent their nation a second time.

!!The Roop provide examples of the following tropes:

* CurbStompBattle: They won the grand final of ''Pabandom iš naujo!'' 2021 with full points from both the jury and the public. While the points were given according to the standard Eurovision spread,[[note]]The first placer receives 12 points, the second 10, the third 8 and so on, regardless of the actual distance in terms of votes[[/note]] they received a staggering '''74,125''' votes from the public, or more than 85% of the total votes cast. For comparison, the runner-up Gebrasy received only 6413.
* ColorMotif: In contrast to the monochrome "On Fire", "Discoteque" features a vibrant yellow motif in the band's outfits.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The video for "On Fire" is entirely in black-and-white.
* EarlyBirdCameo: 2020 wasn't the first time they attempted to represent their country at the Eurovision Song Contest. They first participated in the Lithuanian national final in 2018, reaching the final where they received 16,491 votes (the second-highest ranking) from the public and came third overall.
* RuleOfThree: They attempted to represent Lithuania three times. The first time, in 2018, they ended up in third place in the national selection. The second time, in 2020, they won the ticket but the contest was cancelled. In 2021, they won again and will represent Lithuania for good.
* SpiritualSuccessor: "Discoteque" to "On Fire". The video for "Discoteque" begins right after the band concludes a performance of "On Fire".
* StockRhymes: "On Fire" features the infamous trifecta "fire/desire/higher".
