On 27 February 2000, the "Selecția Națională" song contest was held in order to select the Romanian entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest 2000. Subsequently, "Luna" was chosen to represent Romania in the contest solely by public televoting. Originally, the span of time in which the public could vote for entries was set to one hour, and eventually extended to three hours without prior announcement. Taxi's win was surrounded by controversy after second-placed Romanian group threatened to take legal action against the Romanian Television (TVR), claiming that they were in the lead after one hour of televoting.
