Background
Prior to the 2020 contest, Georgia had participated in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest twelve times since its debut in, and since then they have never missed a single contest. Georgia is also the most successful country in the competition, with three victories in, and. In the 2019 contest, Giorgi Rostiashvili carried the Georgian flag to Gliwice Arena's stage with We Need Love following his victory in the second season of Ranina, achieving just the 14th place out of 19 with 69 points.

Ranina
For the third year in a row, Georgia will use an original children's talent show format, Ranina (Georgian: რანინა), as the selection method for their artist. The third season was originally planned to be around two months long starting in late March. However, the COVID-19 pandemic caused the show to be suspended indefinitely. On 13 July 2020, public broadcaster GPB released a new advertising spot for Ranina confirming its return, with recordings due to commence in the following weeks and a revamped format to adjust to the shorter time available. On 18 August 2020, GPB released footage of the first five rehearsals on Facebook and announced that the first show would be premiered on 4 September 2020 at 22:00 Georgian time — though all references to that were deleted a day later. Classical pianist David Aladashvili will continue as the main host of the show, this time joined by Lika Evgenidze as co-host. A new advertisement was released three days later, on 21 August 2020, postponing the season premiere for a week to 11 September 2020.
