Taiwan in Own Asiavision Song Contest 24

Taiwan participated in the Own Asiavision Song Contest 24 with the song "Limelights" written by M.A.T.H. The song was performed by G5SH featuring Lily, who were internally selected by Taiwanese broadcaster Taiwan Television (TTV) to represent the nation at the twenty-fourth edition in Daegu, South Korea. "Limelights" was presented as the Taiwanese entry during the announcement of G5SH and Lily's internal selection on 25 June 2020.

Taiwan was drawn to compete in the first semi-final of the Own Asiavision Song Contest which took place on 2 August 2020. Performing as the closing entry during the show in position 10, "Limelights" was announced among the top 10 entries of the first semi-final and therefore qualified to compete in the final on 9 August. It was later revealed that Taiwan placed first out of the 21 participating countries in the semi-final with 126 points. In the final, Taiwan performed in position 23 and placed first out of the 26 participating countries, scoring 175 points. This was Taiwan's second win in the Own Asiavision Song Contest; their first victory was in the eighth edition.

Background
Prior to the twenty-fourth edition, Taiwan, officially the Republic of China, had participated in the Own Asiavision Song Contest sixteen times since their debut in the first edition. Taiwan has won the contest on one occasion: in the eighth edition with the song "Why Not Love" performed by Rosie Yang and Ryan Yu. Since the introduction of semi-finals in the twelfth edition, Taiwan has, to this point, managed to qualify to the final eleven times, including two top ten results: in the twelfth edition with Diana Wang and "Home" placing second and in the seventeenth edition with Lin Jia Yin and "Run" placing fourth. Since returning to the contest in the twenty-second edition, Taiwan managed to qualify to the final with both their entries: "Present" performed by Chiu Pi in the twenty-third edition, and "Zai ming wei weilai de bolang li" performed by Astro Bunny in the twenty-fourth edition.

The Taiwanese national broadcaster, Taiwan Television (TTV), broadcasts the event within Taiwan and organises the selection process for the nation's entry. TTV confirmed their intentions to participate at the Own Asiavision Song Contest 24 in June 2020. In the twenty-third edition, TTV had set up the national final OASC: Your Decision to choose both the song and performer, with both the public and international juries involved in the selection. For the twenty-fourth edition, TTV held an internal selection to choose the artist and song to represent Taiwan at the contest.

Internal selection
TTV announced on 11 June 2020 that the Taiwanese entry for the Own Asiavision Song Contest 24 would be selected internally. The broadcaster opened a submission period in order for interested artists and composers to submit their songs until 18 June 2020. Songwriters of any nationality were able to submit songs as long as the artist were Taiwanese or possessed Taiwanese citizenship. Songs could be submitted in any language, however those performed in one of the languages of Taiwan were given priority. Over 100 submissions were received by the deadline.

On 25 June 2020, "Limelights" performed by G5SH featuring Lily was announced by TTV as the Taiwanese entry for the Own Asiavision Song Contest 24. Lily previously attempted to represent Taiwan in the Own Asiavision Song Contest 23, placing second in the national final with the song "Shao ba". "Limelights", which was written by G5SH member M.A.T.H, was selected from ten entries shortlisted by a selection panel formed by TTV which consisted of ten members: five music professionals and five members of the public who are viewers of the Own Asiavision Song Contest. The song was presented to the public on the same day via the release of the official music video, directed by A-Flight.
